Gathering the Zakat Threshold
A woman has some gold jewelry that her mother gave her. She divided this jewelry between herself and her two daughters. The eldest daughter also gave a valuable piece of jewelry to one of her relatives. The woman thought about gathering this jewelry and weighing it to know the threshold. Should the threshold be calculated for each daughter separately since the eldest daughter is of age and the second daughter is 15 years old?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: The nisab is gathered for the owner of the single property. If these daughters own jewelry, whether they are of age or not, each one of them has a specific nisab of 100 grams of gold. If it was given to the daughters for use while the ownership remains with the mother, then he must weigh it completely, and if it reaches the nisab, zakat is due on it. And God knows best.
