The ruling on a woman who owns jewelry and was unaware of the obligation of zakah on it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
She says: I have some jewelry that I use, and I heard on your program that zakah is obligatory on jewelry. Several years have passed and I have not paid zakah. So how is its zakah calculated? That is, the zakah on gold. I hope you will inform me of this. If its zakah is to be paid by giving a sum of money, I do not possess any money, and my husband does not give me any. So should I sell some of it and pay its zakah?
Answer:
You must pay zakah in the future. You owe nothing for the past, because you did not know. So you must pay zakah in the future, once you have learned the ruling. You sell some of the jewelry and pay the zakah, and praise be to Allah. You sell some of it and pay the zakah for the current year, and for every year after that, once you have knowledge. It is twenty-five for every one thousand, twenty-five riyals for every one thousand, fifty riyals for every two thousand, and so on. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good. O Umm Khalid, please accept my apologies, as the response to your message was delayed considerably. I apologize to you and to every listener whose message response was delayed.
