Chirya aur Andha Sanp | Sparrow and Blind Snake
It is stated in one narration that the Prophet of Raḥmaĥ, the Intercessor of Ummaĥ صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: ‘I asked, ‘Where are the rich people?’ I was told, ‘Their wealth has stopped them.’ (Qūt-ul-Qulūb, vol. 1, pp. 404)
In another narration it is stated, ‘Upon seeing the abundance of women in Hell, I asked the reason for this. I was told, ‘Two red things i.e. gold and saffron (meaning, their jewellery and specific kinds of colourful dress) have stopped them.’
(Iḥyā-ul-‘Ulūm, vol. 4, pp. 577)
Zakāĥ can also become Farḍ on a woman’s gold jewellery
Islamic sisters who are keen on collecting gold but do not pay Zakāĥ even after Zakāĥ being Farḍ on them, should be fearful and learn a lesson from this blessed Ḥadīš.
Remember! Earning or having the ability to earn is not a condition for Zakāĥ to become Farḍ, rather it is also necessary to pay Zakāĥ on the gold and silver jewellery that is worn if the conditions are fulfilled. Those women that collect gold out of greed rarely get any benefit from it in the world. By not giving Zakāĥ, such greedy women take a huge risk of punishment in the Hereafter!
The following is a part of a blessed saying of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, ‘Whoever owns gold and silver and does not pay its rights, then on the Day of Judgement, slabs of fire will be made for him upon which the fire of Hell will be ignited,
