is not obligatory on jewelry purchased for personal use according to the majority of scholars. However, it becomes obligatory if it is purchased for storage or sale. For Zakat to be obligatory, the weight of the jewelry must reach the prescribed (approximately 85 grams of pure gold), and the due Zakat is one-quarter of one-tenth (2.5%) of the gold's value for each year that has passed without its payment.
