The Zakat Payable on Gold and Silver
Issue 946: Zakat will only be payable on gold and silver if they are coined and used as currency; and the Zakat will be payable even if the coins are ruined. Issue 947: The coined gold or silver used as ornamental jewelry by women is not liable to Zakat, unless it is used as currency; the same also applies to Bahar-e-Azadi gold coins (nowadays popular in Iran) and the like which are not used as currency.
