What is the stronger position regarding the zakah of gold intended for adornment?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This person is asking about the gold that a woman wears and adorns herself with: is there zakah on it?

Answer:
The correct view is that there is no zakah on it. This is the opinion of the majority of scholars. There is no zakah on it because it is not intended for increase, but rather for use. Also, not every woman is able to pay zakah; they are poor and in need of jewelry. Therefore, zakah is not obligatory on jewelry intended for wearing.
