- Scholars differ on the exact mahr of Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her): 400, 480 and 500 dirhams are all cited, and 500 dirhams is also known as the mahr of the Prophet's wives. There is no maximum mahr; the couple can agree any amount above the minimum.
- A dirham's weight in grams is converted slightly differently by different scholars (about 3.06 g). Check with your imam if a precise figure matters.
How it's worked out
Silver = dirhams × 3.0618 g · Value = grams × today's silver price per gram
Worked example
500 dirhams is 500 × 3.0618 = 1,530.9 g of silver, 131.25 tola. At Rs 270 a gram, that's Rs 413,343.
A note on differences of opinion
Scholars differ on Fatimah's exact mahr and on a dirham's weight in grams, so the calculator shows each view rather than choosing one. Check the figure your imam uses.
