Is zakat due on gold after a year has passed since its purchase, or on the same date as the original zakat payment for the cash amount that was converted into gold?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Gold purchased for trade is subject to zakat at the same time as the money used to purchase it, because money is a price that takes the place of gold and silver, and purchasing it with money does not alter its hawl (zakat year). It is stated in "Al-Mubdi' Sharh al-Muqni'": "And the hawl of some prices builds upon others."
