The husband is not obligated to pay it on her behalf unless he chooses to do so voluntarily.\\n\\nIf she cannot afford to pay the zakat herself, she may sell a portion of the gold to cover it, save up for it, or seek assistance from her husband or others who are willing to help. However, the obligation remains hers.\\n\\nThis ruling is based on the Hanafi school, which considers zakat due on gold jewelry when it reaches the nisab (minimum threshold) and a full lunar year has passed over its possession. Other schools, such as the Shafi'i and Maliki, do not require zakat on jewelry intended for personal use.\\n\"}]}","tags":[{"_id":"668d9ff50b76658b4c232a40","tag":"Zakat: Al-Mal","count":57},{"_id":"668d9ffb0b76658b4c232ade","tag":"Marriage: Roles and Responsibilities","count":56}],"createdOn":"2025-05-08T20:47:25.542Z"}
