Machine translationRead the Arabic original
If a woman has jewelry upon which zakah is due, but she has no money, is it permissible for her husband to pay the zakah on her behalf?
Yes, there is nothing wrong with that.Meaning: If a woman has jewelry but no money from which to pay the zakah, and her husband, father, brother, or son pays it on her behalf, there is nothing wrong with that, but only with her permission, even if she has money.And the husband said: I want to pay the zakah on your jewelry, so there is nothing wrong with that after her permission. If she has no money and the husband is not prepared to pay her zakah, and no one else is willing to pay it on her behalf, then she should sell some of the jewelry for the amount of the zakah and pay it.
