    Zakat on gold: quick answers

    How much gold before zakat is due?

    87.48 g of pure gold, 20 dinars (Sunan Abi Dawud 1573): about 95.43 g of 22 carat or 116.64 g of 18 carat. Cash and silver are added in, so less gold can still make zakat due.

    Do I pay zakat on wedding jewellery?

    Kept away, it counts. Worn, the Hanafi school counts it (Sunan Abi Dawud 1563); the Maliki, Shafi‘i and Hanbali schools do not (Muwatta Malik, Book 17, nos. 10 and 11). Both views.

    How do I find the carat?

    Look for the stamp inside a ring or on a clasp: 916 or 22K, 875 or 21K, 750 or 18K, 375 or 9K. A jeweller can test an unmarked piece.

    Does white or rose gold count?

    Yes, by its carat like any gold alloy. Plated pieces hold very little gold.
