Summary
The Melaka fatwa sets the 'uruf limit for jewellery gold worn by Muslim women in the state at 200 grams. Zakat is charged at 2.5 percent of the value of gold exceeding that limit, using the formula 2.5% x (value of gold - 'uruf limit). This decision amends an earlier fatwa and was published in the Melaka State Government Gazette.
