The meaning of her saying: "I contracted with my family for nine awaqi."

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : There is no one among the people like her. Perhaps in the future, this girl will develop a psychological condition. They see it as light now, but perhaps one day it will become heavy, because deviating from the customary is reprehensible. The important thing is that the name Bara'ah was changed by the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), but the name Barirah was not changed.
Now,
Barirah contracted with her family for nine awaqi. بريرة كاتبت أهلها على تسع أواق
"Katabat" means she bought herself from her family for nine awaqi. Awaqi is the plural of uqiyah. How many dirhams is an uqiyah? Forty dirhams. How many dirhams are the nine awaqi?
The student: Three hundred and sixty.

The Shaykh : Three hundred and sixty, three hundred and sixty. Each year is one uqiyah, meaning forty dirhams.
