Determining the Mahr in the Tribes

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Some of the tribes among us set a limit on the mahr in order to ease the burden on the young men of the tribe. Is this limitation permissible? And is it binding?

Answer:
By Allah, this is a matter that is referred to the court. Yes.
