About

What are the Islamic Economic Indicators?

The Islamic Economic Indicators are the Rand values of amounts that the Shari'ah fixes by a weight of gold or silver. Jamiatul Ulama South Africa publishes them so that Muslims can work out their Zakaah and agree on a Mahr at today's prices. Gold, silver and the Rand move every day, so these values change too. This page updates them automatically, and the table above holds the record back to 1421 AH (2000).

Zakaah Nisaab

612.36 g of silver (200 dirhams). This is the minimum net wealth which, if held for a full lunar year, makes Zakaah obligatory.

Minimum Mahr

30.618 g of silver (10 dirhams). This is the least Mahr a husband may give his wife under the Hanafi Madhab.

Mahr Faatimi

1,530.9 g of silver (500 dirhams). This was the Mahr of Sayyidah Faatimah (radhiyallahu anha), daughter of Rasulullah ﷺ, and many couples choose it as a Sunnah amount.

Gold & Krugerrand

Gold prices per gram for 24k, 22k, 21k, 18k, 14k and 9k are listed for valuing jewellery for Zakaah, along with the dealer price of one Krugerrand.
