The questioner:
Regarding the ten [years] for which a husband takes back his wife, if he takes her back with a new contract, is a mahr (bridal gift) required?
The Shaykh:
Yes, it is correct that a mahr is required.
The questioner:
But.
The Shaykh:
If it is a new marriage contract, a mahr is required, even if it is small. It is not established except with a mahr, even if it is small. [The verse states:] "Do not spend your wealth recklessly."
The questioner:
What Allah willed.
