Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: A hadith is reported that he should give charity of a dinar.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner: What is the grade of the hadith? And what is the ruling in this case?
The Shaykh: The hadith is authentic, and it is obligatory to give charity.
The questioner: Do we have a measure for our days?
The Shaykh: Half a dinar means half a pound.
The questioner: A pound.
The Shaykh: An English gold pound.
The questioner: A gold pound.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner: ... Can we estimate it in our days, for example, in grams or in Jordanian currency?
The Shaykh: By Allah, considering gold, as you know.
The questioner: Yes, it varies.
The Shaykh: It goes up and down.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: Therefore, it is not possible to give a fixed number.
The questioner: Okay, can you specify the grams? So that we can balance the price of the gram of gold.
The Shaykh: This is a matter for a goldsmith; you ask him: What is the weight of the English pound in grams? He will give you the answer.
The questioner : Yes, may Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : And beware of that.
