Chapter on Zakat of Gold

And that which Muhammad ibn Yaqub narrated from Ali ibn Ibrahim from his father from Hammad from Hariz from Harun ibn Kharijah from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, who said: I said to Imam عليه السلام: “My brother Yusuf was appointed over works for these people, and he acquired much wealth through them, and he made that wealth into jewellery, intending to flee through it from zakat; is zakat due on him?” Imam عليه السلام said: “There is no zakat on jewellery, and the loss he has brought upon himself by making it (jewellery) and by depriving himself of its surplus is greater than what he fears from zakat.”
