Is Zakāh obligatory
on all forms of Jewellery?
Zakāh is obligatory on
all forms of gold and silver whether it is for personal use or
otherwise. (Raddul Muhtār, 2:32) Once the Prophet (Peace be upon
him) said to two women who had not offered Zakāh for their gold
necklaces, “Do you not fear that Allāh will make you wear a bracelet
of fire? Pay it’s Zakāh.” (Abū Dāwūd) However, there is no Zakāh on
diamonds, rubies or pearls, unless they are for business purposes. (Durrul-Mukhtār,
2:273).
