Question:
He says: May Allah preserve you, this questioner, 'Abd al-'Aziz from al-Zulfi, asks about the right of a divorced woman to the mahr (bridal gift) that her husband paid her. He asks about the right of a woman who is divorced, for example by khul' (divorce at the wife's request for compensation) or otherwise, to the mahr: does she get it back in full, or half, or what is her right?
Answer:
If he divorced her before consummation, she is entitled to half the mahr. If he divorced her before consummation, but if he divorced her after consummation, she is entitled to the full mahr due to the consummation. And if he divorced her before consummation, she is entitled to half the mahr.
