As salamu alaikum

How much silver does one have to own for a year in order to pay Zakaah upon it and how do you calculate the Zakaah? In addition, is there a difference regarding the silver ornaments of the female or are they calculated the same way?

Az-Zakah on Jewellery made of silver

Question:
I have some silver that is in the form of Jewellery to be worn on the neck, the hands, the head and on a belt. I requested from my husband many times to sell it and pay its Zakah, but he says that it has not reached the minimum amount required for Az-Zakah. I have had it for approximately 23 years now and I have not paid any Zakah on it. What is obligatory on me now?

Answer:
If it has not reached the minimum amount, there is no Zakah due on it, knowing that the minimum amount for silver is 140 Mithqal, which is equal to 56 silver riyals. If the silver jewellery reaches this amount, Az-Zakah becomes obligatory on it according to the most correct view of the scholars. This is due every time a year passes on it. The amount that must be paid is 2.5%, which is 2 ½ riyals for every 100 riyals and 25 riyals for every 1000 riyals.

In reference to gold, its minimum amount is 20 Mithqal, which is 11 ½ Saudi Junayhs or 92 grams of gold. If a year passes on gold jewellery that reaches this amount or more, then Az-Zakah must be paid on it according to the most correct view of the scholars. The amount to be paid is 2.5%, which is 2 ½ Junayhs for every 100 ]unayhs or its value in monetary currency or silver. Any more than this is calculated according to this system. This is due to the Prophet's statement:

"There is no owner of gold or silver who does not pay its Zakah except that plates of fire would be made for him on the Day of Resurrection. Then his sides, forehead and back would be burned with them during a Day that its measure will be fifty thousand years. This will continue until the judgment is pronounced among the servants, and then he will see whether his path leads to Paradise or the Fire.? [Abu Dawud no. 1562.]

This was recorded by Muslim in his sahih.

It has been confirmed from him (swalallahu alaihi was salaam) in a hadith narrated by ?Abdullah bin' Amr bin Al-'Aas (radhi Allahu?an) that he said to a woman who entered upon him with her daughter who was wearing two gold bangles:

"Do you give the Zakah of this ?"
She said: "No,"
He said to her: "Does it please you that Allah will make them into two bracelets of fire for you on the Day of Judgement??
Then she threw them down and said: "They are for Allah and His Messenger.?
[Abu Dawood no. 1563]

This was recorded by Abu Dawud and An-Nasa'i with an authentic chain of narration. The Hadiths with this meaning are numerous. And Allah is the Giver of success.

The ruling of Az-Zakah on Jewelry, Diamonds and precious Stones

Question :
I am a married woman and I am almost 30 years old. For approximately 24 years I have had pieces of gold that are not kept for business. They are only for beautification and sometimes I sell them. Then I add some money to their price and I buy better jewellery. Now I have some jewellery and I have heard that it is obligatory to pay Az-Zakah on gold that is kept for beautification. Thus, I would like a clarification of this matter for myself. If Az-Zakah was obligatory on me, what is the ruling of the past period of time during which I did not pay Az-Zakah on the jewellery?  This is while keeping in mind that I am not able to estimate the amount of gold that I had during all of these long years.

Answer:
Az-Zakah is obligatory on you from the time you knew that it was obligatory on you to pay Az-Zakah on jewellery. Whatever occurred before that in the previous years before your knowledge of this, then you do not have to pay Az-Zakah for it. This is because the Islamic laws only become obligatory after they are known. The amount that must be paid is 2.5% if the jewellery reaches the minimum amount required for Az-Zakah, which is 20 Mithqal (of gold). This is equivalent to 11 ½ Saudi Junayhs. If gold jewelry reaches this amount or more, then Az- Zakah must be paid on it. For every 1000 Junayhs, 25 Junayhs is due. In reference to silver, its minimum amount before Az-Zakah is due is 140 Mithqal, which is equivalent to 56 silver riyals or whatever is equivalent to it of monetary currency. The amount that must be paid is 2.5% just like with gold.

In reference to diamonds and other stones, no Zakah is due on them if they are for wearing. However, if they are for sale, then Az.Zakah is obligatory on them according to their value in gold and silver if they reach the minimum amount required for Az-Zakah. And Allah is the Giver of success.
