How to add it

  1. Choose your country above and copy the code.
  2. Paste it where the widget should appear. On WordPress, add a “Custom HTML” block; on Squarespace or Wix, an “Embed” or “Code” block.
  3. That’s all. The figures change by themselves each morning with gold and silver prices.

Two weights for one dirham

The Nisab is 200 dirhams of silver or 20 dinars of gold. Scholars agree on the coins but convert them to grams with slightly different weights, so the Hanafi figure comes out about 3% higher. Both are valid: follow the one your scholar uses.

The widget uses 85 g of gold and 595 g of silver, or 87.48 g and 612.36 g in Bangladesh, India and Pakistan, at international spot prices. Its link goes to your country's page, which shows how the figures are worked out.
