Estimation of the equivalent of the Mahr at the time of the prophet, pbuh : inflation and the Mahr at the time of the Prophet, PBUH
Fatawa Question
My sister is getting married and wants to ask for the Sunnah Mahr. We know it is 400 Dinar, which we are told is the same as $ 300, but obviously $ 300 was worth a lot more in the time of the Prophet (SWS) than today. I was able to find out the relative value of $ 300 in 1789 which would be worth $ 5999 today. How can I find out the relative value of the Sunnah Mahr to the value of money today ?
