Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is the amount that constitutes sufficiency determined according to the standards of each era, or is it fifty dirhams as mentioned, in every era?
Answer:
No, every era has its own standard. Fifty dirhams now do not provide sufficiency; fifty dirhams do not provide sufficiency. The Islamic dirham is a quarter of the dirham that exists now, or approximately a quarter of the dirham. It is not sufficient now. Yes.
