Increase in the Type of Wealth for Zakat

Question
Regarding the Zakat on gold, I give my Zakat on gold every year in the blessed month of Ramadan, and now I have purchased additional gold this month of Sha'ban. Does this gold count towards the Zakat calculation for this year, knowing that it has not completed a full year?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: The condition for the obligation of its performance is the passing of a year on the original nisab. As for what is acquired during the year, it is added to its kind and is subject to zakat at the completion of the original year, whether it is acquired through trade, inheritance, or otherwise. Therefore, you owe zakat on the purchased gold, and God knows best.
