The Ruling on Zakah in Diamonds, Pearls, and Their Like
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
This is also a letter that has arrived, in which the sender inquires about how to pay the zakah on gold, on gold and diamonds together, and on platinum and pearls. We have learned in the previous answer how to pay the zakah on gold, and we have learned that there is no zakah on pearls, diamonds, and the like, from your permissibility?
Answer: The answer to this is yes; the answer is what was mentioned before. Diamonds, platinum, and things like them that are not gold or silver do not have zakah, if they are for wearing and not for trade. The obligatory zakah is only in known gold and known silver, if a lunar year has passed over them and they have reached the minimum threshold, even if they are in jewelry, even if they are worn or exchanged. This is the correct opinion among the scholars. Yes.
