Sheikh. I got married recently and in our culture everyone gifts us with gold. since it’s more than 85 grams, I would like to know about the ruling on zakat on gold since I hear different opinions. Some say that the gold which we wear often are not counted. Some say that even if it’s kept in a bank locker, if we take it out and wear within a year, then it’s not counted.

This is not permissible as zakat must be given directly to the poor and he may do with it whatever pleases him.

Dear Sheikh, I have a question about zakah:I have 200 grams gold and I am paying zakat from it.My friend says subtract nasab amount (96 grams) from your gold then pay zakah of it.Meaning, I should pay zakat from 104 grams (i.e. 2.6 grams).I hope you understand.

What he is saying is totally baseless. First of all, the nisab of gold is 85 grams. Secondly, the zakat is paid over the whole amount. This means that your zakat is 5 grams of gold.
