The value of the blood money for a Zoroastrian in current currency
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah preserve the Shaykh. If he has committed kufr (disbelief), the blood money for a Zoroastrian and other non-Muslims who are not People of the Book is the same as the blood money for a Muslim.
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
The blood money for a Zoroastrian and other non-Muslims is eight hundred Prophetic dirhams. What is the value of that blood money in the present time in the currency of the people?
The Shaykh:
It is calculated as follows: The Saudi riyal is equivalent to two hundred dirhams. The silver Saudi riyal is fifty-six dirhams. This means the Prophetic dirham is approximately one-quarter of the Saudi silver riyal. The Prophetic dirham is a quarter and a little more, because fifty is a quarter of two hundred, and there is an excess of six dirhams. So it is a quarter and a little more. Yes.
