The answer

It is not permissible to use ornaments made of abundant silver, and it is disliked to use them if they are scarce. Abundant refers to that which covers an entire part of something, and scarce refers to that which is less than that. Silver must be separated from ornaments and utilized in what is permissible. Zakat is obligatory on this silver, and its amount is a quarter of a tenth. If there is doubt about the weight, the higher amount should be considered.
