What is the ruling on zakah for jewelry?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is zakah obligatory on gold that is worn?

Answer:
The correct view is that zakah is not obligatory on gold intended for wearing and adornment. This is the correct and stronger position, and it is the view held by the majority of scholars, as a concession to the poor woman. If zakah were made obligatory on her every year, she would be left with neither jewelry nor anything else, especially if she is poor. Yes.
