Question
A Maulana says that if the gold and silver jewellery owned by a woman is in normal use then Zakaat is Waajib and if not in use, then Zakaat is not Waajib. Is this correct?
Answer
It is incorrect. Zakaat is Waajib on gold and silver regardless of it being in use or not. The Maulana Sahib has incorrectly stated the Shaafi' ruling. According to the Shaafi' Math-hab, gold an silver jewellery in use is not Zakaatable.
