Answer
In the name of Allāh, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalāmu ῾alaykum wa Rahmatullāhi Wabarakātuh
Types of Mahr
Dirhams
Grams
Troy ounces
Minimum Mahr
10 Dirhams (silver)
30,615175
0.9843
Mahr Fatimi
480 Dirhams (silver)
1469,64495
47,24908
You should valuate 30,615175 grams of silver to get the actual amount of Minimum Mahr for that day.[1]
After the demise of the husband the father in law will remain a mahram for the wife.[2]
And Allāh Ta῾āla Knows Best
