Selling Some Gold to Pay Zakat

Question

A woman is obligated to pay zakat but does not have any money to pay it. Is she required to sell some of her gold to pay this amount?

Answer

I say, and with God's help: It is obligatory for her to pay zakat if her wealth reaches the nisab, even by selling gold, and God knows best.
