Regretfully, the difference between Halal and Haraam is being neglected. Islamic sisters are also desirous to have gold. Spending all their wealth and gold in the path of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ is a great deal, besides, they do not even agree to give Zakah. They are deceived by Satan and Nafs and say that they do not earn, those people should give Zakah who earn wealth! However, it is wrong. If someone has gold jewellery or other gold items, Zakah will become Fard (obligatory) upon that person, subjected to certain conditions[1]. Those who exceed the limits in their desire to accumulate gold, read this cautionary Hadees and shiver with the fear of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. Also, calculate the total Zakah that you haven’t still paid and pay it without any further delay. Repent and also ask forgiveness from Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ for delaying its payment without being permitted by Shari’ah.
Two women came in the blessed court of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. Both were wearing gold bracelets in their hands. The Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم asked them, ‘Do you give Zakah of these bracelets?’ They replied, ‘No.’ The Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, ‘Do you like it that Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ makes you wear bracelet of fire?’ They replied, ‘No.’ Then the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, ‘Keep on giving Zakah of these (bracelets).’ (Sunan-ut-Tirmizi, vol. 2, pp. 132, Hadees 637)
