Zakar must be paid for Gold and Silver every Year
Issue No. 1617- If a person possesses gold or silver, which has reached the taxable limit, even if he has paid zakāt on it, he should continue to pay zakāt on it every year so long as it does not fall below the taxable limit. However, this is not the case with khums. That is, once the khums of a property is given, it will not be liable to khums again unless there is an increase in it. Nevertheless, wheat, barley, raisins and dates are liable to zakāt only once.
