Summary
Pawned gold is classified as saved gold, so zakat is obligatory on it once nisab and haul are reached. If the gold was pawned out of necessity, zakat applies to the remaining gold still in the pawnor's full possession after deducting storage costs. If it was pawned out of desire rather than necessity, zakat is obligatory on the entire pawned gold with no related costs deducted.
