Assalamu alaikum, a clarification on zakat.
Question
My parents have some debts around Indian Rs.80000, insha allah on their behalf this debts would be repaid back by me in another 8 months. My wife has some jewellery around 150gm which are in use by her. My question is as a husband whether I need to pay zakat on this jewellery as I alone would be performing my hajj this year, whether I need to pay zakat before my hajj travel.
Answer
The Zakaat on the Jewellery of your wife does not have to be paid by you. If the Zakaat on the jewellery has become Fardh, then it has to be discharged by your wife. However, you may discharge the Zakaat of your wife with her prior consent.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
