Re: Zakaat.

@STA

Husband is not respon**sible of the zakah of his wife and vise versa.
**
if your wife is using her gold/silver jewelery actively, then she is not required to pay zakah, but if she is keeping her gold in locker then she has to has pay zakah, and again you are not responsible of her zakah.

Brother what stated above is wrong.

As per MACCA Zakat Authority:

2. The nisab for gold is approximately 87g. Doesn’t matter wife is using it on the daily basis or not. Once you have more then 87g of gold (silver 595 g), you are liable to pay zakaat. There is no harm in overpaying the zakat, so if your estimate is a “safe estimate” ( i.e. definitely not less than the value of the gold) then you can use this figure, and you do not need to weigh it exactly.

3. Yes, the zakat on your wife’s jewelry is payable by her. If she does not have enough money to pay the zakat, then either she could sell some of the jewelry, or you (husband) could give her enough money to enable her to pay the zakat.
