Question:
For zakat, is it applicable to jewelry that is part of dowry or wedding gifts? And if so does the income salary that is under the nisab does it become extra on top of the gold?
Answer:
When all zakatable assets in possession are added, one must then see how much he/she owes to other people, then will subtract this amount from the total. Zakat will be paid at the rate of 2.5% from what remains after subtraction, if it reaches nisab.
