The Ruling on the Zakah of Gold That Has Been Kept Aside for Years
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
One of the brothers says: Your Excellency the Shaykh, my father bought a gold bangle forty years ago, and it has remained kept aside, unused, and he did not know that zakah was due on it. We want to know from Your Eminence, Shaykh Salih, whether zakah is due on it and how it is paid?
The Shaykh:
If it reaches the nisab, and if it does reach the nisab, then zakah is due on it, unless it is for wearing. If it is for wearing, then there is no zakah on it. If it is for trade, or if it is due on it when it reaches the nisab. Yes.
The questioner:
How is it paid, Shaykh, for each year?
The Shaykh:
It is calculated for each year. Yes.
