On Gold and Silver with Evidence.

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : We mention first: gold and silver, for zakah is obligatory in gold and silver, in whatever form they are, whether they are coins or bullion, which are pieces of gold and silver, or jewelry, or vessels, or otherwise, even though it is not permissible for a person to drink from vessels of gold and silver, as is well known.
The important point is that zakah is obligatory in gold and silver in all cases, by the saying of Allah the Exalted:
And those who hoard gold and silver and spend it not in the way of Allah - give them tidings of a painful punishment. (35) The Day when it will be heated in the fire of Hell and seared therewith will be their foreheads, their flanks, and their backs والذين يكنزون الذهب والفضة ولا ينفقونها في سبيل الله فبشرهم بعذاب أليم * يوم يحمى عليها في نار جهنم فتكوى بها جباهم وجنوبهم وظهورهم
[At-Tawbah 9:34-35]
.
And it is said to them:
This is what you hoarded for yourselves, so taste what you used to hoard." هذا ما كنزتم لأنفسكم فذوقوا ما كنتم تكنزون
[At-Tawbah 9:35]
.
