Summary of Zakat on Gold and Silver:
1) Ruling:
Zakat is obligatory on gold and silver based on the Qur’an, Sunnah, and scholarly consensus.
Whoever does not pay their zakat is threatened with severe punishment on the Day of Judgment.
2) Amount (What must be paid):
The due amount is one-quarter of a tenth (2.5%).
Gold: For every 20 dinars, half a dinar is due.
Silver: For every 200 dirhams, five dirhams are due.
Any excess is calculated at the same rate.
3) Conditions:
Reaching the nisab (minimum threshold):
Gold: approximately 85 grams.
Silver: 200 dirhams.
Completion of one lunar year (hawl).
General conditions: Islam, freedom, and full ownership.
4) Combining Gold and Silver:
Gold is not combined with silver to complete the nisab (according to the stronger opinion); each is calculated separately.
5) Zakat on Jewelry:
Zakat is due on:
Jewelry kept for storage or that is prohibited.
Permissible jewelry used for adornment (according to the stronger opinion).
Evidence: general texts, specific hadiths, and adopting the safer view.
Brief Conclusion:
If gold or silver reaches the nisab and a year passes, 2.5% zakat must be paid, whether kept as savings or jewelry (according to the stronger view), without combining one with the other.
