Q : When we bought a set of gold it includes the cost of making of the set and wastage, my question is that do we have to pay zakat for wastage as well?

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.

We acknowledge receipt of your e-mail correspondence wherein you queried if Zakaat must be taken on the wastage of gold, our answer follows hereunder:-

Zakaat won’t be taken for the wastage of gold that takes place during the process of making the jewelry.

And Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

Wassalamu Alaykum
