What is the ruling on the zakah of gold if a woman sells some of it until it falls below the nisab?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : A questioner says: I am a woman, and I have gold that I bought from the goldsmith. I went with a car to the place of need, and I bought it two years ago, but I lost some of it due to the path of zakah. Knowing that I have sold a lot of it, because the price at that time was very high, and I have no income from any source, and my husband does not give me my monthly allowance. So if I gradually sell it every year, it will eventually run out.
Answer : The question is clear. This woman questioner thinks that if she starts selling her gold and paying its zakah, the gold will run out and be exhausted. We have explained recently that it cannot run out and be exhausted, because if it falls below the nisab, its zakah is dropped, and it remains forever without being subject to zakah, staying in the woman's possession and in her wealth. Based on this, we tell her: If you are selling from it until it falls below the nisab, such that what you have weighs eleven dinars, then there is no zakah on you for that, because it is below the nisab.
