1. Do I pay Zakat on gold jewelry I wear daily?
Yes. In Hanafi Fiqh and Aala Hazrat's fatawa, Zakat is obligatory on all gold and silver jewelry (2.5%), regardless of whether it is worn daily or stored.
2. Can I give Zakat to my married sister or needy brother?
Yes! Giving Zakat to eligible poor siblings, aunts, uncles, or cousins is highly recommended and carries double reward (Zakat + family ties).
3. Can Zakat be given to Sayyids / Hashimis?
No. Zakat cannot be given to descendants of Banu Hashim. Assist them with voluntary gifts (Hadiyah) out of reverence.
