Summary
The Perlis Fatwa Committee upheld the 1988 decision of the Perlis Syariah Committee. Zakat is due on gold whether it is worn or stored, with no distinction between the two. The term uruf limit is not recognised in Perlis, and every owner of gold exceeding the nisab of 85 grams is liable for zakat.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Semua pemilik emas yang melebihi nisab 85 gram emas dikenakan zakat.
