The bridal gift of a woman who killed herself before consummation

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a man contracts a marriage with a woman and she kills herself before consummation,

The Shaykh:
If.

The questioner:
If a man contracts a marriage with a woman and she kills herself before consummation, does she have a right to the bridal gift?

The Shaykh:
Before consummation, yes, she killed herself before consummation, or did she die? Yes, so does she have a right to it? She is entitled to half the mahr, half of it, if it was specified, yes.
