I would like to get more clarification on the rules of Zakat that relate to Gold with the following questions:
1- Is it obligatory to pay Zakat on Gold (that reaches the taxable limit) that is received as part of the Mahr (marriage dowry)?
2- Is it obligatory to pay Zakat on Gold that was received as marriage gifts from parents parents-in-law and siblings?
Zakat is only obligatory on gold coins, not gold that is worn as an adornment. Khums, however, is due the gold if it is not worn for a year.
