The ruling on the zakah of a woman's silver jewelry
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Some women possess large quantities of silver, which was given to them as bridal gifts, and it has been observed that they do not pay zakah on this jewelry. Do you advise them to pay zakah? Or how should you guide them? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
It is obligatory for women and men who possess silver that reaches the nisab, whether by itself or combined with other assets, to pay zakah. So, the one who has silver reaching the nisab, which is fifty-six Saudi Arabian silver riyals, meaning one hundred and forty mithqals—this is the nisab, one hundred and forty mithqals—if a woman has silver reaching fifty-six Saudi silver riyals, meaning one hundred and forty mithqals, then zakah becomes obligatory. Or if she has some silver that does not reach the nisab, but she has other paper currency that, when added to it, reaches the nisab, then zakah becomes obligatory for both men and women, whether it is the known paper currency, or silver, or both. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
