The answer

Electrical appliances prepared for marriage are not subject to zakat, even if their value reaches the minimum threshold (nisab) and a year (hawl) has passed over them. This is because anything acquired for personal use (li al-qunyah) that a person owns is not subject to zakat, based on the hadith: "A man is not required to pay zakat on his slave or his horse."
