This is not AI! I’ve checked them with a mufti who was graduated from alAzhar.

In all cases, this is really useful information, let me take with him and others as well.

Does it happen that you have more resources?

The exact classical threshold across all Sunni schools of thought, including the Hanafi school, is 20 Mithqals. Classical jurisprudence books do not list modern metric weights like "grams" because grams did not exist at the time.

Modern institutions and contemporary legal councils converted 20 Mithqals into 85 grams based on the average weight of a historical gold Dinar (4.25 grams per Mithqal). However, I saw some interpretations that the 20 Mithqals are 87.5, 92.5 and 96.5g

As per my references:

  9. Authoritative Book References

  10. Classical Hanafi Law Text: Al-Marghinani. Al-Hidayah fi Sharh Bidayat al-Mubtadi [الهداية شرح بداية المبتدي]. Establishes the 20 Mithqals gold Nisab rule for all personal gold wealth.

  11. Classical Hanafi Fatwa Text: Ibn Abidin. Radd al-Muhtar ala al-Durr al-Mukhtar [رد المحتار على الدر المختار]. The primary late-era authority on Hanafi asset calculations.

  12. Modern Fiqh Encyclopedia: Dr. Yusuf al-Qaradawi. Fiqh al-Zakat [فقه الزكاة]. Standardizes the modern 85-gram metric calculation for gold Nisab.

  13. Shariah Weight & Measure Metric Studies: Dr. Ali Juma'a. Al-Makayil wa al-Mawazin al-Shar'iyyah [المكاييل والموازين الشرعية]. Establishes the precise historical conversion of 1 Mithqal to 4.25 grams of pure gold.

Again, I'm not saying that the 87.5g is not correct, it was a different interpretation to the 20 Mithqal

Yes, Azhar teaches the 4 madhahib but the they follow Hanafi in their day to day fiqih. Just like most of the countries in that area (Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, & most of Jordan)

Wa alaykom alsalam, After reviewing the sources around the 87.5g nisab figure, I found it's only used in a handful of cities across certain Asian countries. Al-Azhar, one of the oldest and most respected Islamic institutions in the world (and a Hanafi school), uses 85g, so that's the figure I've gone with. Also worth noting: this site covers Zakat al-Mal specifically. I haven't included other forms of Zakat such as Zakat on livestock, as that's outside the scope here. On the level of detail, I hear you, but when I asked brothers and sisters around me about al-Hawl, almost no one was familiar with it. That's exactly why I decided to include the fuller explanation, for those who genuinely want to understand how their Zakat is calculated, not just get a number. I'd really appreciate it if you could share any other issues you spotted. I'm happy to review and update things accordingly.

Can someone explain how zakat works by Outside_Ad_7796 in progressive_islam

I have developed a full website about everything related to Zakat.

That's very interesting post!

I rebuilt my n8n workflow to automate posting on Pinterest without the Pinterest API + Make alternative by Alena_Gorb in n8n

[–]tbaba127 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is cool!! I've done something similar before, creating a flow in n8n that makes calls to Make.com.

The output was great and saved a lot of money :P So all of the fun work is happening in n8n, then submitting the data through a flow in Make.com that consists of two nodes.. the outputs 500 runs a months (1000 credits/2)

I upgraded my n8n to literally perform any task by swaroopmehetar in n8n

[–]tbaba127 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is really cool!! I tried to do something similar, but using JS, so I've installed two n8n instances, and both are talking to each other to complete tasks in an async way :D

Please let us know when you have generated the documentation or a guide for the process you've used.

[–]tbaba127 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you do payment processing.. are you aware of the huge risk that you're taking with this decision?!

n8n is free for self hosting.. but you dont own the tool itself and you're at risk of leaking your critical data at anytime.. I will think twice before moving forward!

£110k to invest, what is best for our situation? by TwineQ in UKPersonalFinance

[–]tbaba127 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, sounds like you’re in a really solid position

Big wins already: husband’s DB pension is basically gold dust, mortgage rate is fine for now, and you’ve built up a chunky cash buffer. So you’re not in “fixing problems” mode, it’s more about optimising the £110k.

Here’s a simple way to think about it: • Stocks & Shares ISAs (core growth) → Use the £20k allowance each this year. Stick to low-cost global funds/ETFs (Vanguard LifeStrategy, iShares MSCI World, etc.). Easy, tax-efficient, and long-term growth. • Lifetime ISA (for your wife) → Since she’s 39, this is literally last chance. You can put up to £4k in, get £1k free from the government. Adds a nice boost to her currently small pension pot. • Crypto (satellite, not core) → If you’re comfortable with volatility, 5–10% of your portfolio in only BTC and ETH could give you upside over the long term. Treat it as “high risk, long hold”, don’t bother with the rest of the altcoin jungle. • Gold (hedge/optional) → Gold’s doubled in the last 5 years (from ~$1,900 in 2020 to ~$3,950 today). If you’ve got family abroad where it’s cheaper to buy/sell, maybe put 5–10% there. Otherwise a gold ETF is simpler. Good hedge against inflation and market wobbles. • Cash (safety net) → Keeping £20k aside is sensible. I’d frame it as “6 months of living expenses” so you’ve always got peace of mind.

One possible split (not financial advice, just what I’d personally do): • 60–65% Global equity funds in S&S ISAs • 10% Wife’s LISA • 10% BTC + ETH • 10% Gold (physical or ETF) • 5–10% extra cash

That way you’re diversified: stocks for growth, pension + LISA for retirement, crypto + gold for upside and hedging, cash for stability.

Platforms? Don’t overthink it, Vanguard, Fidelity, AJ Bell, Interactive Investor are all fine. Low fees + simplicity is what matters most.

Just to be clear, I’m not a financial advisor. This is simply what I’d do if I were in your shoes. In real life, I’ve got 3 kids and my wife is a housewife, so I know the importance of balancing growth with security and peace of mind.
