Is there zakah on the gold that is worn?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, regarding the gold that is worn, is there zakah on it?

The Shaykh : Yes, there is zakah on the gold that is worn, according to the stronger opinion. This is based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
There is no one who possesses gold or silver and does not pay its right, except that on the Day of Resurrection it will be made into plates of fire, and it will be heated in the Fire of Hell, and his side, his forehead, and his back will be branded with it. ما من صاحب ذهب أو فضة لا يؤدي حقها إلا كان يوم القيامة صفحت صفائح من نار وأحمي عليها في نار جهنم فيكوى بها جنبه وجبينه وظهره
. His statement:
There is no one who possesses gold or silver ما من صاحب ذهب أو فضة
is general and includes jewelry and other things.
And because it was narrated from 'Amr ibn Shu'ayb from his father from his grandfather:
That the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw a woman, and on her daughter's hand were two thick bracelets of gold. He said: "Do you pay the zakah of this?" She said: "No." He said: "Would you be pleased if Allah branded you with them as two bracelets of fire?" So she took them off and threw them to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم رأى امرأة وفي يد ابنتها مسكتان غليظتان من ذهب قال : أتؤدين زكاة هذا ؟ قالت : لا قال : أيسرك أن يسورك الله بهما سوارين من نار فخلعتهما وألقتهما إلى النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم
Yes.
