The Ruling on Zakah in Jewelry and the Amount of the Nisab
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is there zakah due on the gold that unmarried girls wear, even if it is a small amount? May Allah reward you with good. And what is the ruling for one who does not pay it?
Answer:
There is zakah due on jewelry. Gold and silver are subject to zakah according to the correct opinion of the scholars, whether the woman is married or unmarried, a virgin or a previously married woman. It is obligatory to pay zakah, which is the correct view, if it reaches the nisab. If the jewelry reaches the nisab of gold or silver, the nisab of gold is twenty mithqals, eleven and a half Saudi pounds, ninety-two grams. And the nisab of silver is one hundred and forty mithqals, fifty-six silver riyals, and anything more than that.
So if the jewelry reaches this amount, there is zakah due on it: twenty-five out of a thousand, fifty out of two thousand, and so on. But if it is less than that, there is nothing due on it. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah bless you and reward you with good.
