The Shaykh Muhammad ibn Salih al-Uthaymeen said: "If it is said
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : If it is said: What is the answer to the argument used by those who do not consider zakah obligatory on jewelry? It is what Ibn al-Jawzi narrated through his chain in "al-Tahqiq" from 'Afiyah ibn Ayub, from al-Layth ibn Sa'd.
The Shaykh : What is the meaning of the obstacle to spending?
The questioner : Academic.
The Shaykh : Academic and foreign, yes.
The questioner : From 'Afiyah ibn Ayub, from al-Layth ibn Sa'd, from Abu al-Zubayr, from Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him), that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saidMusannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 4:383 and al-Bayhaqi narrated it in "Ma'rifat al-Sunan wa al-Athar".
It was said: The answer to this is from three angles. First: Al-Bayhaqi said about it: It is false, it has no basis, and it is only narrated from Jabir as his own statement, and 'Afiyah ibn Ayub is unknown, so whoever argues with it is being reckless with his religion. End of quote.
Second: If we assume ..
The Shaykh : Reckless, that is the apparent meaning, here? So with it, by Allah, I have, there is a possibility, with his religion, okay, it is reviewed in Ma'rifat al-Sunnah wa al-Athar, is the book available?
The questioner : It is available, Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Yes?
The questioner : Ma'rifat al-Sunnah wa al-Athar?
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed.
The questioner : It is there.
The Shaykh : Okay, review it.
The questioner : If Allah wills.
The Shaykh : Review it, if Allah wills, and teach us what is correct.
The questioner : If Allah wills.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Second: If we assume the authentication of 'Afiyah as transmitted by Ibn Hattim from Abu Zur'ah, it does not contradict the hadiths of obligation, nor is it matched against them due to their authenticity and the extreme weakness of his.
Third: If we assume it is equal to them and can be matched against them, then taking it is more cautious, and what is more cautious is more worthy of following, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)Sunan an-Nasa'i 5711Sahih (Darussalam) and his saying Bulugh al-Maram 16:32 , and as for the athar, among them ..
The Shaykh : So the answer is from three angles. First: It has been criticized, both the hadith and its narrator. Second: If the criticism of the narrator is assumed to be lifted, it does not contradict the hadiths of obligation, and contradiction requires that the contradicting evidence be equal to the hadiths it contradicts so that it can be used to contradict them. Third: If contradiction, equality, and matching are assumed, then taking the obligation is more cautious and more exonerating for the conscience. For this reason, some scholars, such as Shaykh al-Shanqiti (may Allah have mercy on him), in "Udhu' al-Bayan", held that the statement of obligation is more cautious, so it falls under the category of precaution, yes.

Leave that which makes you doubt for that which does not make you doubt.
دع ما يَريبك إلي ما لا يريبكSo he, who saves himself from these doubtful things, saves his religion and his honor
