Zakatable jewellery

Question:

How much of gold jewellery is considered as excess and zakatable? Is having 226 grams of gold jewellery for use considered excessive? Plz explain.

Answer:

Eighty-five grams (85g) of gold (coin and bullion) and anything above that weight is zakatable. It is not considered “excessive.”

However, no zakat is due on any item of women’s gold jewelery that has been worn at any time in the prior year.
