Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Among the questions from this questioner is: Is zakah on gold necessary, and what if it is worn for occasions and not for selling or buying?
Please inform us of this.
Answer:
The correct view is that zakah is obligatory on jewelry made of gold and silver; this is the stronger position among the scholars' opinions. If it reaches the nisab (minimum threshold for zakah) and a lunar year has passed over it, the woman must pay zakah on her gold, whether in silver or gold, if a lunar year has passed over it and it constitutes a nisab. Yes.
