    Ala Hadrat did infact write a book about paper money and the different issues surrounding it including the issue of zakat. He said that in our times paper money had become a legitimate subsitute for gold/silver coins. As such paper money is to treated similarly to gold/silver coins.

    The name of the book is ' Kifl Ul Faqeeh Al Fahim Fi Ahkam El Qirtas El Darahim'. It was written in 1902 when Ala Hadrat went for Hajj. In Makkah he was approached by the Imam of Masjidul Haram Maulana Abdullah Mirdad and his teacher Maulana Hamid Mahmood Jidadi who asked for a fatwa on different issues especially about zakat regarding paper money. Before coming to Ala Hadrat they had asked for a fatwa from the Grand Mufti of the Hanafis in Makkah Maulana Jamal bin Abdullah bin Umar Hanafi. However, he had declined to give an answer saying that this was a matter he did not have sufficient information and knolwedge about, so they approached Ala Hadrat. To view online:

    isn't Ala Hadrat's opinion different to this? I'm sure I've seen a work of his
    in which he defends the legitimacy of paper money..or am I wrong? I like Hajj Ahmad Thomson but the Murabitun have got something of a fetish for this 'no-paper money' mantra. For them it is the crux of the matter.
