Zakat on thing that currently not being utilized

Is Zakat (obligatory charity) due on household items that hasn’t been used during the entire year? Like a new refrigerator, unutilized oven, dryer etc. that have not been utilized all year.

الجوابُ حامِدا ًو مُصلیِّا ً

Although the things mentioned in the question are currently not being utilized, they are still household necessities. For this reason, Zakat is not due on them.
And Allah knows best.

مأخَذُ الفَتوی

کمافی تنویرالابصار: وشرطہ حولان الحول وثمنیة المال کالدراھم والدنانیر أو السوم أو نیة التجارۃ الخ (2/267)۔
وفی المبسوط للسرخسی: وليس على التاجر زكاة مسكنه وخدمه ومركبه وكسوة أهله وطعامهم وما يتجمل به من آنية أو لؤلؤ وفرس ومتاع لم ينو به التجارة؛ لأن نصاب الزكاة المال النامي ومعنى النماء في هذه الأشياء لا يكون بدون نية التجارة، وكذلك الفلوس يشتريها للنفقة فإنها صفر والصفر ليس بمال الزكاة باعتبار عينه بل باعتبار طلب النماء منه، وذلك غير موجود فيما إذا اشتراه للنفقة. الخ (2/198)۔
