Is zakah obligatory on a woman's jewelry intended for adornment?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner asks: Is zakah obligatory on the gold that a woman keeps for adornment and use only, and not for trade?

Answer:
No. The permissible jewelry intended for adornment does not carry zakah according to the majority of scholars. If one wishes to pay zakah on it as a precaution, there is nothing wrong with that. As for it being obligatory, no, it is not obligatory.
