Zakah on Gold Intended for Wearing
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Now, I have gold that has been sitting for about two years without being worn. How much is the right amount to pay?
The Shaykh:
Hmm?
The questioner:
It is all gold for my wife, worn for a year and a half or two years without being worn. Do I have to catch up on the zakat?
The Shaykh:
What is your intention with this gold? What is the wife's intention with this gold?
The questioner:
Just wearing it, that is all.
The Shaykh:
She owes nothing, that is final.
The questioner:
Sometimes she wears it, sometimes she does not.
The Shaykh:
I say she owes nothing. Gold intended for wearing has no obligation on it according to the majority of scholars. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
