The amount of the nisab for gold intended for adornment at which zakah becomes obligatory on the whole

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Brother 'Adil al-Hatami says in his second question: What is the amount of zakah on gold if it is for adornment? And is the zakah limited to what exceeds the specified amount, or does it include the gold in its entirety?

Answer:
There is scholarly disagreement regarding zakah on gold prepared for wearing and adornment. The majority of scholars hold that it is not obligatory on it. If one wishes to pay zakah on it according to the opinion of those who say it is obligatory, he should give out what corresponds to a quarter of a tenth, provided that this gold reaches the nisab, meaning twenty kilograms of gold or more, or twenty mithqals of gold or more, which is eleven and a half Saudi pounds. In it, he gives out what corresponds to a quarter of a tenth. Yes.
