The answer

Zakat is obligatory on a gold dowry if it reaches the nisab and a hawl (one lunar year) has passed on it. The nisab is the equivalent of 85 grams of gold, and the amount of Zakat is a quarter of a tenth (2.5%), whether the gold is a dowry or jewelry for adornment. If Zakat is not obligatory on the jewelry, its hawl begins from the day it is sold.
