Question
I have been paying zakat properly every year since it became obligatory on me. But I did not know that zakat has to be paid on gold ornaments. But I have about eight gold ornaments. Now how do I collect zakat on these ornaments? The price of gold is changing every year. Now what will be the price? 2687415591

In the case in question, the zakat on the back has to be collected from the current market price of the ornament. Because, it was obligatory on you to pay Zakat of two and a half percent of that ornament every year. Since it has not been recovered, now this amount of gold or its current market price has to be recovered. It is to be noted that the property / ornaments that will remain at the time of collection of Zakat of previous years, excluding Zakat of each year, will be considered as Zakatable property of the next year. For example, someone has 40 heavy ornaments. He did not pay zakat for two years. In this case, he has to pay 1 gram of gold or its value for the first year. And the zakatable wealth of the second year is 39. So zakat should be paid from this 0.985 loads of gold or its value. 7257622295
