1. Who will pay the Zakat
for the wealth and Ornaments of Husband and wife?
Though the wish of husband and wife are considered as of a same family as their ownership is separate. Their Zakat should have to be paid off separately. Wife has to pay off Zakat by selling some of her ornaments or saving money from retail expense if she has no wealth except ornaments. If husband pays Zakat of ornaments on behalf of wife Zakat would be paid off.
Though wealth of husband and wife remains together in one family, as
ownership is different, Zakat has to be paid separately for their
individual/own wealth
