The ruling on the zakah of gold prepared for use

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a woman asking, Shaykh. She has gold and does not wear this gold throughout the year. Is there zakah on it? And there is a hadith, Shaykh: “Do you not like that Allah should enclose you in a wall of fire?”

Answer:
Yes, there is no zakah on gold prepared for use according to the correct opinion of the scholars, because it is like clothing prepared for wearing, or items kept for use. The majority of scholars hold this view, and it is the ruling issued here: there is no zakah on jewelry prepared for use, even if she does not wear it except on special occasions. Yes.
