There is no Zakat on a Muslim's residential home or private car, nor on the commercial projects and shops themselves, such as buildings, furniture, and machinery, unless they are intended for sale. Zakat is obligatory on trade goods by appraising the merchandise at the end of the year and paying one-quarter of one-tenth (2.5%). As for jewels, Zakat is obligatory on gold and silver if they reach the Nisab, but there is no Zakat on precious stones used for adornment unless they are for trade. In summary: a Muslim pays Zakat on merchandise, cash, gold, and silver that they own at the rate of one-quarter of one-tenth.
