The duty of Zakat and all matters related to it are of utmost importance to Muslims, as its fulfillment is pivotal for the well-being of the community and the rectitude of the nation. In this article, we will explain, with evidence from the Quran and Sunnah, the conditions, rulings, and the quorum threshold for Zakat on worn gold jewelry<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Zakat on Worn Gold: Is It Obligatory?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

\u00a0The concept of Zakat on jewelry has been known since ancient times and has been discussed in many places in the books of Islamic jurisprudence (Fiqh).<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There has been a disagreement regarding the permissibility of Zakat on jewelry due to the widespread use of paper (silver) as an alternative for adornment. It has been mentioned in Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah, may Allah have mercy on him, that ‘The term ‘wariq’ (silver) in the language of the Arabs, to whom we have been addressed, does not apply to jewelry that is used as adornment.’<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This leads us to an interpretation of the term in a hadith by the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, which is a reference point for many scholars to affirm the obligation of Zakat on worn gold jewelry, whether intended for adornment or trade. This interpretation arises from the difference in the meaning of the term in ancient times. Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, the wife of the Prophet, peace be upon him, narrated: ‘The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, entered upon me and saw bracelets of silver on my hands.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He asked, ‘What is this, O Aisha?’ I replied, ‘I made them to beautify myself for you, O Messenger of Allah.’ He said, ‘Do you pay Zakat on them?’ I said, ‘No.’ He said, ‘It is enough for you to lead to the Fire.’ Narrated by Abu Dawood and authenticated by Hafiz Ibn Hajar and Sheikh Al-Albani.<\/span><\/p>\n
