Condition of a sum upon divorce in the marriage contract
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: In some societies, the wife's family stipulates a sum that the husband must pay upon divorce to prevent him from rushing into divorce, and they do not intend for it to be part of the mahr.
Answer:
What is paid to the wife at the time of the contract is considered part of the sadaq. If the mahr is divided into two parts, a deferred portion and an immediate portion, there is nothing wrong with that, even if the last installment is due upon divorce. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
