Is there a specific amount for a woman's jewelry? And what is the ruling on its zakah?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Our brother asks his second question, saying: Regarding a woman's adornment in gold, is there a specific amount for it? And if it has a large weight, for example, how is the zakah calculated? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
As far as we know, there is no specific amount for a woman's jewelry. Rather, there is nothing wrong with her adorning herself with whatever adornment Allah has made pleasing to her, such as bracelets, necklaces, rings, and the like. If this gold adornment reaches the nisab of twenty mithqals, meaning eleven and a half Saudi pounds, or ninety-two grams, then once it reaches this nisab, zakah becomes obligatory upon her according to the most correct of the scholars' opinions. She pays zakah of twenty-five out of a thousand, meaning one-quarter of one-tenth. This is the correct view.
Some scholars said that there is no zakah on jewelry, but the correct view is that there is zakah on it, because there are authentic and explicit hadiths regarding this that indicate it. And success is from Allah. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
