Zakaat on a gold plated necklace
Q: I would like to query regarding 18k gold plated necklace.
I previously was not aware that zakaat was due on my 18k gold plated necklace. I'm not sure how long I had it in my possession. I am just going to estimate 13 years. I recently also gave the necklace away within this current year.
I am not sure how much the necklace weight is: will estimate 18 grams, since I am not sure of the percentage/weight of the "gold" in it.
Will it be okay if I calculate the zakaat on the current selling price of the necklace e.g. The current selling price is R1200 and then to make up for the 13 years =R 15 500 and then pay 2.5% of this amount, will this be allowed ?
