Question:
How does a wife who has no source of income pay Zakat on her jewelry?
Answer:
In the name of Allah, Most Compassionate, Most Merciful,
If an individual possesses in his/her ownership wealth in the form of
gold,silver, cash, merchandise, or livestock to the value ofthe
Zakat-payable amount(nisab), then Zakat will be obligatory upon them.
In the Hanafi School, one is also obliged to pay Zakat on gold and
silver jewellery even if the jewellery is for personal use. (See: the
various Fiqh references)
Thus, if a woman has in her ownership gold or silver the value of
which reaches the appointed Nisab amount, then she will be required to
pay Zakat. If she has money in the form of cash, she may pay the Zakat
from it; otherwise, she will have tosell some part of the jewellery in
order to pay the Zakat. She may even give an item from the jewellery
itself as Zakat to the poor and needy.
However, it is suggested that if she has no other savings, her husband
or father pay Zakat on her behalf with her permission. It will be as
though her husband or father is giving her some money as gift, and she
is utilizing that money to pay off her Zakat. If that is not possible,
she will have no alternative but to sell some part of the gold and
silver jewellery in order to fulfil her responsibility.
The same ruling would apply with ritual slaughter(udhiyya), in that if
one does not possess cash, onewill have to sell some part of the
wealth in order to fulfil this duty. Udhiyya becomes Wajib when one
has wealth (in any form) inexcess of one�s personal needs to the
amount of Nisab. Thus, even a male who has no cash on hand would be
required to sell some items and perform Udhiyya.
And Allah knows best

Islam is a religion of Mercy, Peace and Blessing. Its teachings emphasize kind hear tedness, help, sympathy, forgiveness, sacrifice, love and care.Qur’an, the Shari’ah and the life of our beloved Prophet (SAW) mirrors this attribute, and it should be reflected in the conduct of a Momin.Islam appreciates those who are kind to their fellow being,and dislikes them who are hard hearted, curt, and hypocrite.Recall that historical moment, when Prophet (SAW) entered Makkah as a conqueror. There was before him a multitude of surrendered enemies, former oppressors and persecutors, who had evicted the Muslims from their homes, deprived them of their belongings, humiliated and intimidated Prophet (SAW) hatched schemes for his murder and tortured and killed his companions. But Prophet (SAW) displayed his usual magnanimity, generosity, and kind heartedness by forgiving all of them and declaring general amnesty...Subhanallah. May Allah help us tailor our life according to the teachings of Islam. (Aameen)./-
