Owner of the gold paying their own zakaat
Question
My mother gave me gold jewellery. If zakaat applied on me, who would pay it? As I am not earning and dependent on my father, will he pay it or my mother or I should pay it from my bank savings?
Answer
Since you have your own savings, you will pay for your own zakaat.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
