Zakah on Money and Jewelry
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: We are a family of seven brothers, and I am the eldest, eighteen years old. Our father has passed away, and our mother and our grandmother, an elderly woman, raised us. We own a house in which we live, and I have a monthly salary from which we spend, amounting to two hundred and eighty dinars. We also have a small amount of jewelry. What is the amount of zakah that we are obligated to pay to the poor?
Answer:
If the money you have is only enough for your needs, and nothing remains that reaches the nisab (minimum threshold for zakah) for a full lunar year, then there is no zakah on it. It is necessary that a full lunar year passes over the nisab. So, if you have remaining an amount equal to eleven and a half Saudi pounds, which is equal to ninety-two grams, and a full lunar year has passed over it, then zakah is due on this money.
As for if the remaining amount is small and does not reach this quantity, then there is no zakah on it. Likewise, the jewelry worn by a woman, if it is below the nisab, below ninety-two grams, has no zakah on it. Zakah is only due on what reaches the nisab and a full lunar year has passed over it.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
