Is zakat obligatory on jewelry endowed to Allah for the purpose of lending it to women for weddings?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is permissible to dedicate jewelry as an endowment (waqf) for wearing and borrowing. There is no zakat due on it if it is endowed for a public entity, because one of the conditions for zakat becoming obligatory is complete ownership, and money endowed for a public entity has no owner.
