The questioner:
It is observed, Shaykh Salih, that from what I understood from this message, there are three opinions regarding the zakah of jewelry: one opinion that it is subject to zakah, one opinion that it is not obligatory, and one opinion that it is subject to zakah only once in a lifetime. What is the opinion that you hold and prefer, Shaykh Salih?
The Shaykh:
This third opinion has no merit.
The questioner:
The one that is...
The Shaykh:
The one that says he pays zakah on it once in a lifetime: he either pays zakah on it every year, or zakah is not obligatory on it. These are the two well-known opinions.
The questioner:
And this is the opinion to which Shaykh Salih al-Fardani leans.
The Shaykh:
It is a matter of precaution (ihtiyat). As for making it obligatory, I do not see it as obligatory, but from the standpoint of precaution...
The presenter:
What Allah willed.
