The Zakah on Gold Used in Previous Years
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu Nasir from Riyadh says: I have not paid the zakah on gold for five years. Should I pay it in one lump sum, or is it necessary to pay it each year individually, since it is the zakah of a woman’s adornment?
Answer:
If a woman’s gold is for wearing and use, there is no zakah on it, and praise be to Allah, according to the majority of scholars. However, if one wishes to clear his conscience or avoid the dispute, there is no harm in paying zakah on it, but he should calculate the zakah for all the past years and pay it out. Yes.
