Question:

As Salaamu Alaikum,

What is the mehre fatimi presently? جزاكم الله خيرا

Answer:

Wa Alaikum As Salaam,

The Mahr Fatimi is approximately 480 dirhams according to many scholars. According to the calculation 1 silver dirham is approximately 3.06 grams of silver. This means that 480 dirhams will be 1,468.8 or 1,469 grams of silver. Since the price of silver fluctuates, you can find out the price of one gram of sliver at any given time and then multiply it by 1,469. to arrive at the figure for Mahr Fatimi.

At the present time, the price of silver is .49 cent (US) per gram of silver (which is $ 3.32 TT).

With this price, the Mahr Fatimi will be $ 719.81 (USD) or $ 4,877.08 (TT).

And Allah Knows best
