Abstract

All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the Worlds, and peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and companions. This research addresses the issue of zakat on permissible, everyday jewelry as presented in Imam al-Nawawi's Al-Majmu' Sharh al-Muhadhdhab, through a comparative jurisprudential study. The research is divided into an introduction and two sections. The first section introduces Imam al-Nawawi and his book Al-Majmu' Sharh al-Muhadhdhab, defining the terms in the title. The second section examines the issue of zakat on permissible, everyday jewelry. It begins by stating the title of the issue, then presents it, clarifies the points of disagreement, quotes Imam al-Nawawi's text on the matter, explains the reasons for the differences of opinion among scholars, presents their arguments along with their supporting evidence and discusses them, concludes with a summary, and includes a list of sources and references.
