My wife paid zakat, does she have to take a share in the qurbani as well?
Question:
My wife paid zakat this year since she owned the Nissab amount based on the value of her personal jewelry. However she doesn’t have her own personal savings, my question is, does she have to take a share in the qurbani as well? Or is not fardh upon her.
Answer:
Wa Alaikum As Salaam,
Yes, she has to take a share in the Qurbani. This has become essential upon her due to the nisaab in jewellery that she has.
