The answer

You must pay zakat on your share of the gold if it reaches the nisab, even if it necessitates selling land you own. Your obligation is not fulfilled until you pay the due amount for each year. According to the preponderant opinion, forgiving a debt does not suffice as a substitute for zakat. What applies to you also applies to your partner if his share reaches the nisab. A severe warning has been mentioned for those who do not pay their obligatory zakat.
