There is no Zakat obligatory upon a woman for the gold she wears or prepares for adornment, according to the majority of scholars, and this is the most preponderant opinion. A Muslim should seek refuge in Allah Almighty and fortify himself by reciting the two 'Mu'awwidhat' (Surahs Al-Falaq and An-Nas) and the prescribed supplications when fearing envy, while being certain that Allah is the Protector.
