What is the nisab (threshold) for gold zakat and its rate, and when is it due? What is the zakat of Ramadan and its amount? Is an orphaned working girl required to pay zakat on her earnings, and is it permissible for her to give zakat to her fiancé?
Zakat is not obligatory on gold unless it reaches the nisab, which is approximately equivalent to 85 grams of pure gold. The amount of Zakat is one-quarter of one-tenth (2.5%) if a full year has passed on it. There is no Zakat on jewelry used for adornment, according to the opinion of most scholars. The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, obligated Sadaqat al-Fitr as a sa' of food, and it becomes obligatory if one has what exceeds his needs for the day of Eid. It is permissible to give Zakat to a future husband if he is among the poor who are eligible. Business assets are subject to Zakat if they reach the nisab (equivalent to 85 grams of gold or 595 grams of silver) and a full year has passed on them, and its amount is one-quarter of one-tenth (2.5%).
