Question

On that jewelery and other valuables i.e computer.

Answer

If the liabilities exceed the jewellery, then there is no Zakaat. If the jewellery is more than the liabilities, then if the excess if equivalent or more than the value of Nisaab, then Zakaat is compulsory on that amount.

For more information, kindly refer to 'Calculation of Zakaat .' at www.jamiat.org.za/isinfo/zakaat_c.html
