Summary
Pawned gold, including gold pledged at pawnbroking companies, remains subject to zakat once it reaches the nisab and a full haul has passed. This applies to all types of pawned gold. If the person who pawned it cannot pay the zakat after the conditions are met, it must be paid later as qadha when he is able.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
