Is Zakat due on jewelry that is worn regularly?

Category: 3

Date: September 16, 2024

Scholar: Dr. Yusuf al-Qaradawi

Answer:

There are differing opinions among scholars on this matter. The majority view is that Zakat is due on gold and silver jewelry if it reaches the nisab (minimum amount), even if it's worn regularly. However, some scholars exempt jewelry that is worn regularly from Zakat. It's best to consult with a local scholar for specific cases.
