Is zakat obligatory on worn gold that is seldom worn, and only on special occasions, weighing 110 grams of 18-karat gold, with part of it designated for the daughter, knowing that parts of it were purchased on different dates?

Scholars differ regarding the zakat on women's jewelry intended for wear and adornment, with the majority opinion being that it is not obligatory on it. However, if the gold has not been gifted to your daughter, its total nisab (threshold) is calculated. This is 85 grams of pure 24-karat gold, which is approximately equivalent to 113.33 grams for 18-karat gold. Zakat is not obligatory unless this amount is reached, and the lunar Hijri year is considered for zakat calculation.
