My mother has 6.5 tola of gold، Is Zakat obligatory upon her?

(1) My mother has 6.5 tola of gold. She doesn’t have anything else in her possession. Is Zakat obligatory upon her? (2) My wife possessed the value of the Nisab. Other than gold, she has the documents of a piece of land she had purchased to build a house but she has not yet taken actual possession of the land, nor has she completed its payments. Does she have to give Zakat on this plot of land also? (3) I had purchased a piece of land on which I have allowed my brother to live until I decide to sell it. Now my brother is leaving the house but I do not want to sell it. Instead, I will rent it out. Will I have to give Zakat in the value of this house?

الجوابُ حامِدا ًو مُصلیِّا ً

If along will 6.5 tola of gold, the questioner’s mother has any silver, cash or merchandise whose value equates to 52.5 tola of silver, and a year has passed upon them, then she must give 2.5% of their value in Zakat. And if not, Zakat is not due on merely 6.5 tola of gold.
As for the land purchased by the questioner’s wife to build a house and the land owned by the questioner himself (i.e. that he wants to rent out), Zakat is not due on their value.

مأخَذُ الفَتوی

کما في الدر المختار: باب زكاة المال أل فيه للمعهود في حديث «هاتوا ربع عشر أموالكم» فإن المراد به غير السائمة لأن زكاتها غير مقدرة به. (نصاب الذهب عشرون مثقالا والفضة مائتا درهم كل عشرة) دراهم اھ (2/ 295)
وفي حاشية ابن عابدين: (قوله: عشرون مثقالا) فما دون ذلك لا زكاة فيه ولو كان نقصانا يسيرا يدخل بين الوزنين؛ لأنه وقع الشك في كمال النصاب فلا حكم بكماله مع الشك بحر عن البدائع. (2/ 295)
وفى الدر المختار: (وشرطه) أي شرط افتراض أدائها (حولان الحول) وهو في ملكه اھ (2/ 267)
وفی المبسوط للسرخسي: (قال) وليس في أقل من عشرين مثقالا من الذهب زكاة لحديث عمرو بن حزم قال: فيه «، وفي الذهب ما لم تبلغ قيمته مائتي درهم فلا صدقة فيه» والدينار كان مقوما بعشرة دراهم على عهد رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - فذلك تنصيص على أنه لا شيء في الذهب حتى يبلغ عشرين مثقالا ففيه نصف مثقال اھ (2/ 190)
وفي الفتاوى الهندية: وللمعير أن يرجع فيها أطلق أو وقت، كذا في الوجيز للكردري. ولو استعار أرضا ليزرعها لم تؤخذ منه حتى يحصد الزرع استحسانا وقت أو لم يوقت اھ (4/ 370)
