Women’s Zakaat
Reading Time: < 1 minute
The obligation of zakaat on a woman’s wealth and jewellery and her Qurbaani devolve on her, not on the husband.
It is not the husband’s responsibility to discharge her fardh obligations. If the husband willingly pays her zakaat and makes her Qurbaani with her consent, it will be his favour on her.
But, if he does not do so, it remains her obligation to discharge her zakaat even if she has to sell her jewellery.
