The answer

As long as the debts consume the money, there is no on it, unless there are other assets exceeding the need, such as real estate or a car. In that case, these assets are used to cover the debt, and the money is then subject to zakat. As for women's jewelry intended for adornment, there is no zakat on it according to the majority of scholars.
