The Ruling on Zakat for Ornamental Gold Paid in Installments

Question
Is ornamental gold subject to zakat? And is it permissible to divide the zakat; by giving a portion of it each month to the poor?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: Gold ornaments, when they reach the threshold of (100) grams, are subject to zakat. It is permissible to pay zakat all at once or in installments, as the giver sees fit, and God knows best.
