Is it a condition that the mahr be specified for the woman?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : What is it? Yes. And they work in this. Ameen aman? No mahr was mentioned.
The Shaykh : There is nothing wrong with this. The poetic speech is that if the negation of the mahr is stipulated, it does not come to us in three categories, do you? By Allah, you can be full today, O Badr, by tricks. We said the issue has three categories; count them for us. All right. Yes, specifying the mahr. All right, what is it, O Khalid? Silence regarding it, which is what you mentioned, silence regarding it. We said it is permissible by the explicit text of the Qur'an:[Al-Baqarah 2:236] Be silent.

There is no blame upon you if you divorce women you have not touched nor specified for them an obligation
لَّا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْكُمْ إِن طَلَّقْتُمُ النِّسَاءَ مَا لَمْ تَمَسُّوهُنَّ أَوْ تَفْرِضُوا لَهُنَّ فَرِيضَةً
