Summary
The uruf rate for women's gold jewellery in Negeri Sembilan is set at 200 grams because women there do not usually wear jewellery beyond that amount. The decision follows a 2008 study on the customary wearing of gold by Muslim women in Negeri Sembilan, carried out by the Negeri Sembilan Islamic Religious Council. The method of setting the rate need not be stated on the Mufti Department website, since the rate follows local custom.
