QUESTION
What is the current rate of Mahr e Fatimah?
ANSWER
﷽
There is some disagreement about the precise amount of dowry given to Sayyidah Fātimah. However, after thoroughly analysing various opinions, Imām Ahmad Ridā concludes that the most accurate view is that the dowry was 400 mithqāl of silver (see al-Fatāwā al-Ridawiyyah 12/145-156).
400 mithqāl silver corresponds to approximately 1,749.6 grams of silver (based on a conversion rate of 4.374 grams per mithqāl).
As of today (14 Aug 24), the equivalent monetary value is £1,224.72 (0.70*1749.6)
