Muwatta Malik #600
Zakat
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umar
used to adorn his daughters and slave-girls with gold jewellery and he
did not take any zakat from their jewellery.
Malik said,
"Anyone who has unminted gold or silver, or gold and silver jewellery
which is not used for wearing, must pay zakat on it every year. It is
weighed and one-fortieth is taken, unless it falls short of twenty
dinars of gold or two hundred dirhams of silver, in which case there
is no zakat to pay. Zakat is paid only when jewellery is kept for
purposes other than wearing. Bits of gold and silver or broken
jewellery which the owner intends to mend to wear are in the same
position as goods which are worn by their owner - no zakat has to be
paid on them by the owner."
Malik said, "There is no zakat
(to pay) on pearls, musk or amber."
