Question 1

What is تفقيط (Tafqeet)?

Accepted Answer

Tafqeet is writing a numeral out in full Arabic words, most commonly used on checks, invoices, and legal or financial documents to prevent a numeric amount from being altered.

Question 2

Does this convert to English or Arabic?

Accepted Answer

Both, depending on the page language. Switch the language flag toggle to English for English word output (e.g. "one thousand two hundred thirty-four dollars"), or Arabic for correct grammatical Tafqeet output (e.g. "ألف ومئتان وأربعة وثلاثون ريالاً").

Question 3

Why do the words change form for different currencies?

Accepted Answer

Arabic numerals from 3 to 10 grammatically take the opposite gender marking of the noun they count (a rule called al-mukhalafa). Since most Arabic currency names (riyal, dirham, dinar, pound) are masculine, digits 3-9 attached to them appear in their feminine-marked form (e.g. ثلاثة ريالات), while a feminine unit like halalah takes the masculine-marked form (e.g. خمس هللات).

Question 4

What does 'فقط ... لا غير' mean?

Accepted Answer

It means "only ... and no more," a standard phrase bracketing the written-out amount on Arabic checks and invoices to make the amount unambiguous and harder to alter. This tool adds it automatically when a currency is selected; you can turn it off for a plain conversion.

Question 5

Does this handle decimals (cents/halalas/fils)?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Enter a decimal amount (e.g. 1234.56) and the fractional part is converted using the selected currency's subunit name (halalah, fils, piastre, cent, etc.) with its own correct grammatical gender.

Question 6

How large a number can this tool convert?

Accepted Answer

Up to 999,999,999,999 (just under a trillion), covering billions, millions, thousands, and hundreds — enough for virtually any real invoice, check, or contract amount.
