Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I married with a mahr, which was that I would present to the wife Tafsir Ibn Kathir (may Allah have mercy on him). Then one of the students of knowledge told me that this mahr is not valid because it has no value. Is what he mentioned correct?
Answer:
How can it have no value? Tafsir Ibn Kathir has no value? This is the talk of an ignorant person, not the talk of a student of knowledge.
