Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The question: This is a letter from the questioner, our brother Ahmad Abu Haymud from Riyadh, in which he has two questions:
His first question: He asks about zakah on women’s gold jewelry. The answer from His Eminence the Shaykh has already been given in recent episodes. To avoid repetition, we ask you to make an effort to keep listening to the program regularly. However, he has another question, asking: Are there books you would recommend for us to read regarding various aspects of Islamic jurisprudence and similar matters?
The answer: Yes. As for women’s jewelry, the presenter has already mentioned what was stated. We clarified that jewelry is subject to zakah if it reaches the nisab (minimum threshold for zakah) and a lunar year of possession has passed over it. Anything less than the nisab is not subject to zakah. The nisab is twenty mithqals, which is estimated at eleven and a half Saudi pounds or eighty-two grams. Anything less than that is not subject to zakah.
As for the books we recommend, there are many, but among the best, after the Book of Allah, is Zad al-Ma’ad by Ibn al-Qayyim. In it, he mentions the guidance of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in worship and other matters. It is a good book, Zad al-Ma’ad in the Guidance of the Best of Creation, a beneficial and great book on worship and other matters. Also included is the book by the Shaykh Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Wahhab (may Allah have mercy on him): Adab al-Mashy ila al-Salah (Etiquettes of Walking to Prayer). It is a small, concise book on worship, covering prayer, zakah, and fasting. Also included is Minar al-Sabil, a commentary on al-Dalil, which is also a beneficial book. Likewise, al-Rawd al-Murba’ with its marginal notes by Ibn Qasim (may Allah have mercy on him) and its marginal notes by al-‘Anqari (may Allah have mercy on him) is also beneficial. Zad al-Mustaqni’ is beneficial, and its commentary is al-Rawd al-Murba’, which has marginal notes by the scholar Ibn Qasim (may Allah have mercy on him) and marginal notes by the scholar Shaykh Abdullah al-‘Anqari. These are beneficial books, but the best and greatest in benefit, and the most concerned with evidence, is Ibn al-Qayyim’s book (Zad al-Ma’ad in the Guidance of the Best of Creation), for he paid attention to the evidence and clarified what should be clarified. May Allah have mercy on them all.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good, and may Allah bless you.
