Question:
May Allah reward you. Umm Muhammad from Al-Khabar, please go ahead, Umm Muhammad, and keep the question brief, please. May Allah grant you well-being. Peace be upon you, Shaykh. And upon you be peace. I have two questions, Shaykh, may Allah grant you well-being. Please, the first question: I have gold, and of course it is not for intelligence, I mean, because it is my gold that we use, meaning me and my daughters. I do not pay zakah on it; I used to give charity on its behalf, but I do not pay zakah on it, I mean. Thank you, Umm Muhammad. Does the gold require zakah, Honorable Shaykh? She and her daughters use it?
Answer:
There is no zakah on gold that is used, according to the correct opinion, and this is the view of the majority of scholars.
