The equivalent mahr for a wife whose sick husband acknowledged a mahr lower than it

The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If a sick man acknowledges to his wife a mahr, and it is less than the customary mahr, does she receive the customary mahr, or what the husband acknowledged?

The Shaykh:
Until when?

The questioner:
If a sick husband acknowledges a mahr to his wife, and it is less than the equivalent mahr, does she receive the equivalent mahr, or what the husband acknowledged?

The Shaykh:
If you believe him regarding this amount, she receives it, even if it is small. If you do not believe him and she says, “No, it is more than this” or “less than this,” and they dispute the amount, she receives the equivalent mahr. Yes.
