Asalam o alykum
My question is if someone takes out money early from 401k retirement account with intention not to get it devalued because of fear of currency future and paid early takeout penalty and taxes on it . The money he received then invested in buying gold or silver at certain price so does it mean zakat is due on it now?
If yes then second part is how it will be calculated say price of gold went below from what he bought at? Then its a loss from original value is zakat due on that gold/silver?
JazakAllah
