Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This is another question about the zakah of jewelry. The questioner asks: What is the ruling on the zakah of worn jewelry, what is its nisab, and is the nisab determined by weight or by value?
The Shaykh:
About and about. Do you forget?
The questioner:
The custom is the nisab by the idol, this is a correct installation.
The Shaykh:
What?
The questioner:

The Shaykh:
Its nisab is the same as the others. The nisab for gold is known, and the nisab for silver is known. The nisab for gold is twenty mithqals, and the nisab for silver is one hundred and forty mithqals. If the jewelry reaches this weight, its zakah becomes obligatory, whether it is worn or not, according to the correct opinion. The rate is one-quarter of a tenth: two and a half from every hundred, and twenty-five from every thousand.
Whether it is worn or stored for need. Yes. As for the weight of the twenty [mithqals], it is approximately eleven Saudi pounds, eleven pounds and seventeen [grams] up to seven pounds, because the current pound is two and a quarter mithqals. It may be ten mithqals. If the jewelry contains ten mithqals of gold, zakah becomes obligatory. Likewise, for silver jewelry, if it contains one hundred or one hundred and forty [mithqals]. Yes.
