Zakah on Gold Intended for Adornment
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Your Eminence, Shaykh Ibn Bilal, may Allah keep you safe, peace be upon you. After that, my wife has gold. She does not wear it except on special occasions only, and she does not trade in it. Is there any zakah on it? Please guide us. May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
There is a difference of opinion among the scholars regarding this, but the stronger position is that there is zakah on it if it reaches the nisab (minimum threshold) and a lunar year has passed over it. The nisab is twenty mithqals, which is two hundred and twenty-two grams in Saudi riyals, or one thousand one hundred and fifty Saudi riyals. If it reaches the nisab and a lunar year has passed, it is subject to zakah, even if it is not worn. Yes.
