A woman has jewelry, land, and a house; is she required to pay zakah? And the Shaykh’s advice to the questioner not to shave his beard.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Regarding the gold that is with the woman and the amount she owns, for example, or for example, the woman has land?
The Shaykh : She has land and she has jewelry, and the jewelry has not reached the nisab.
The questioner : Yes, none of it is rented out or sold or anything, what is the method, and she has no money?
The Shaykh : She has jewelry?
The questioner : Yes, she has jewelry.
The Shaykh : Does it reach the nisab?
The questioner : Approximately
The Shaykh : What is it approximately? There is no "approximately," it must be exact so that I can tell you whether it is obligatory or not.
The questioner : It reaches the nisab.
The Shaykh : Okay, if the jewelry reaches the nisab, zakah becomes obligatory, but as for the lands, or whatever else, what did you mention?
The questioner : A house, a residence in another area.
The Shaykh : Is the house rented out?
The questioner : No, it is not rented out, no one is in it.
The Shaykh : She owes nothing except for the jewelry.
The questioner : The jewelry that is of use to her.
The Shaykh : If the jewelry reaches the nisab, but I want to give you a piece of advice. I want you to be a young man, and praise be to Allah, you care about your religion, so why do you shave your beard?
The questioner : May Allah provide for it, if Allah wills.
The Shaykh : Say "if Allah wills," but as Allah the Exalted said: What makes you deluded by your youth?
Abu Layla : It appears he is determined.
The Shaykh : Meaning, the first signs.
The questioner : If Allah wills.
The Shaykh : Look, one of the problems of those who are afflicted with shaving the beard is that they begin their worship with what is evil, because when the Day of Sacrifice comes and they want to exit the state of ihram, they exit it through sin. This is a calamity, especially for the Egyptians, these people, Allah is the Greatest.
Another questioner : Many people are heedless of it and do not know that it may bring them closer to the Fire. By Allah, if it were a matter of this world, they would rush to it and travel long distances for it, but, Glory be to Allah, there is no god but Allah.
The Shaykh : Allahu Akbar, Allah is the Helper.
