Answer

If the jewellery and the cash is equivalent or more than the minimum Zakaatable amount, then the Zakaat is due on you upon the completion of one year and every subsequent year. Your husband may discharge the Zakat due on you with your consent.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
