Zakat on thing that currently not being utilized

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Jamia Binoria

Is Zakat (obligatory charity) due on household items that hasn’t been used during the entire year? Like a new refrigerator, unutilized oven, dryer etc. that have not been utilized all year.

الجواب حامدا و مصلیا

Although the things mentioned in the question are currently not being utilized, they are still household necessities. For this reason, Zakat is not due on them.
And Allah knows best.
