Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu Muhammad sent a set of questions. In the first question, he says: My wife has had a lot of gold for forty years. This gold, O Shaykh, she uses it for occasions and gives it to the girls to wear at parties and weddings. What is the stronger opinion among the scholars regarding the zakah on this worn gold?
Answer:
The stronger opinion, and the one on which fatwas are issued, is that there is no zakah on it, because it is kept for use and adornment, and is no longer kept for increase. It is like the clothes of adornment that are worn on occasions, so there is no zakah on it according to the majority. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you.
