78 Nine Mithqals Of Gold To Be Doubled If They Should Repeat The Offence #49A mithqal is a unit of weight. The weight of the traditional mithqal used in the Middle East is equivalent to 24 nakhuds. However, the mithqal used by the Baha'is consists of 19 nakhuds, in accordance with the specification of the Bayan (Q and A 23). The weight of nine of these mithqals equals 32.775 grammes or 1.05374 troy ounces. In relation to the application of the fine, Baha'u'llah clearly specifies that each succeeding fine is double the preceding one (Q and A 23); thus the fine imposed increases in geometrical progression. The imposition of this fine is intended for a future condition of society, at which time the law will be supplemented and applied by the Universal House of Justice.
