The Difference Between the Mahr and the Sadaq

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: Is there a difference between the mahr and the sadaq?

Answer:
It is the same; the mahr and the sadaq are the same, yes.
And give the women [upon marriage] their [bridal] gifts graciouslyوَآتُوا النِّسَاءَ صَدُقَاتِهِنَّ نِحْلَةً
[An-Nisa 4:4]
, and sadaqat is the plural of sadaq, and it is called the mahr.
