Narrated Abdallah bin Shaddad bin Al Had: We entered upon Aishah, wife of the Prophet ﷺ. She said The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered upon me and saw two silver rings in my hand. He asked What is this, Aishah? I said I have made two ornaments myself for you, Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He asked Do you pay zakat on them? I said No or I said Whatever Allah willed. He said this is sufficient for you (to take you) to the Hell fire.

1565. English Commentary:
➊ This and the aforementioned ahadith are evidence that zakah is obligatory even on jewelry used for adornment.
➋ It is incumbent upon the authority (wali al-amr) and those who call to Islam (du‘at) to constantly remind people of their ultimate end. It is concern for the Hereafter that leads to the rectification of deeds and the development of sincerity within them.
➌ It is a legal (shar‘i) and moral duty of women that they adorn and beautify themselves solely for the pleasure of their husbands.
