Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: A man married off his daughter, but he did not give her the mahr; rather, he took it. What is the ruling on that?
Answer:
The ruling on that is that it is permissible for a father to take from his son's wealth, but only what does not harm the son. He takes an amount that does not harm the son and does not harm her, so that he leaves her some of her mahr.
