Questions and Answers

Is it correct to give the value of dates rather than wheat?

It is correct to give the value of dates (and barley) according to Imâm Abu Hanifah and Imam Abu Yûsuf (RA).  However the price of dates is very high.  Therefore if the value of dates is given, one will be paying $32.00 per head.
