Is it a condition to mention the mahr in the contract?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The first question of Fatwa No. ( 3582 )
Q1: I attended a marriage contract with a legal mu'adhdhin, and when the legal mu'adhdhin asked the bride's guardian about the mahr to record it in the contract deed, the guardian said: "We are relatives and there are no conditions between us," and to contract based on what we agreed upon, and the contract was completed on this basis. What is the ruling of the Shari'ah regarding this contract?
A1: The contract is valid, and it is not a condition to mention the money in the contract; rather, whenever the husband and the guardian agree on a sum for the woman, that is sufficient, even if it is not mentioned at the time of the contract. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
