LessonsZakat on Silver: Nisab, Incremental Dues and Alloyed DirhamsQuiz

ثُمَّ فِي كُلِّ أَرْبَعِينَ دِرْهَمًا دِرْهَمٌ عِنْدَ أَبِي حَنِيفَةَ.
Translation: Then, according to Abu Hanifa, one dirham is due for every further 40 dirhams.

The calculation starts with five dirhams at 200; one more is due for each completed additional block of 40. An incomplete block of 40 does not itself add another dirham.

Thus 239 and 240 dirhams have different dues.
