Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
She also says: I have used gold jewelry, and I sold it for three thousand riyals. I know that I did not pay its zakah, and I want to be cautious in this matter. She says: I want to be cautious. The question is: She says: I have used gold jewelry, and I sold it for three thousand riyals. I know that I did not pay its zakah, and I want to pay its zakah as a precaution. What is required of me?

Answer:
If the value of the jewelry remained with her until the completion of the lunar year, she pays zakah on the value by giving one-fourth of a tenth of it. However, if her intention is that the jewelry she sold has reached the lunar year and she did not pay its zakah, and it reaches the nisab (minimum threshold for zakah), and she wants to pay its zakah based on the opinion of some scholars who hold that zakah is obligatory on jewelry, then she pays it by estimation. She calculates one-fourth of a tenth of this jewelry and gives the equivalent amount in money. Yes.
