My mother is a widow, and she has gold beyond nisab. Is it due on her to pay zakat on gold, being a widow?<\/p>\n

In the name of Allah, the most Beneficent, the most Merciful.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Answer<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Zakat is compulsory upon a person who possesses the quantum of nisab (i.e. 612.35 grams of silver or 87.47 grams of gold or currency, wealth equivalent to that amount) for a complete lunar year; which is over and above his basic needs and also free from debts. (Raddul Muhtar p.5 v.2)<\/p>\n

With regards to your question, zakat is obligatory upon those who possess the quantum of nisab, irrespective of whether one is a widow or not.<\/p>\n

Only Allah Knows Best<\/p>\n
