Fatwa #251431 March 2001United States of America
I have heard that women need not pay zakah on jewelry, if it is within the limits of their social status. Is the above criterion not ambiguous?
Answer
According to the Hanafi Madhab, a female is required to discharge Zakaat on
her jewellery if it is equivalent to the Nisaab (minimum Zakaatable amount).
