Is zakat obligatory on gold designated for women's adornment if it remains unused for approximately one year?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

An answer regarding the ruling on zakat for jewelry made for adornment has been provided previously. If you act according to the opinion of the majority, then there is no zakat on it. However, if you wish to pay it as a precaution, then you must know the weight of the jewelry and its value on the day zakat becomes due, and pay a quarter of a tenth (2.5%) of its value. The nisab for gold is 85 grams.
