The Ruling on Wearing a Gold Medal

Question :

For Participating in a sports event, I received a gold medal, a gold watch, and a gold pen. What is the ruling concerning using these things and what should I do with them? Also, do I have to pay Zakah on them, and if so, how much? I ask how much because I don't know how much gold actually is in these items.

Answer:

You are not allowed to wear the watch or medal and you are not allowed to use the pen. It is only women who are allowed to adorn themselves with gold, so you can give it as a gift to a female relative. Or you could get someone to remove the gold before wearing them. Like other jewelry, you have to give 2.5% in Zakah.
