The bridal gift in the case of entering with the woman without intercourse
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the questioner says: In the case of entering with the woman where no intercourse took place, and the bridal gift was named for her, does she receive half or the full bridal gift?
Answer:
This is a matter of scholarly disagreement. If he enters without intercourse—without intercourse, or without uncovering any part of her or taking possession of any part of her—does entering alone suffice, and drawing the curtains between them and the people? The Rightly Guided Caliphs ruled that if he draws a curtain and is alone with her away from people, this establishes the full bridal gift, because this is taking possession of her. However, some scholars say no, intercourse is necessary; even if he enters and is alone with her, intercourse is necessary. Yes.
