How should one pay zakaah on gold that is mixed with diamonds?
Question: 42238
If there are diamonds etc mixed with gold, how should zakaah be calculated?.
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
Shaykh Muhammad ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: “That should be calculated
by the experts. So it should be taken to a jeweller so that he can examine it and see whether the gold reaches the nisaab (threshold at which
zakaah becomes due or not).
If it does not reach the nisaab, then no zakaah is due, unless he has other gold which would
bring the amount to the nisaab, then he should calculate the amount of gold that is mixed with diamonds, and pay the zakaah which is one quarter
of one-tenth (2.5%).
