Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner asks: Is the zakah of gold obligatory on a woman who has a necklace worth seven thousand riyals, a lunar year has passed over it, she wears it sometimes, and she is poor? She needed to sell it after the year had passed, and she has some debts. Is the zakah obligatory on her after she sells it?
Answer:
If gold jewelry is for wearing and use, there is no zakah on it according to the majority of scholars, to remove hardship from the woman. No authentic report has come regarding it that it is subject to zakah, and the majority of scholars hold this view. However, if she intends it for hoarding or for trade, and she needs it, then there is zakah on it every year if it reaches the nisab and a lunar year has passed over it. Yes.
