The answer

If gold reaches the nisab and a year passes over it, zakat becomes obligatory on it at a rate of 2.5% annually, regardless of whether the wealth belongs to an adult, a minor, or an insane person, according to the majority of scholars. The obligation of zakat is not waived for gold designated for a young daughter to be used as jewelry in the future, because it does not fall under jewelry intended for immediate use. Furthermore, the nature of the gold owner's work does not affect the obligation of zakat on it.
