The freeing of Juwayriyyah and making her freedom her mahr
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, in the hadith, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) freed Juwayriyyah and made her freedom her mahr. Perhaps this also happened in the case of the Mother of the Believers, Safiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her)?
The Shaykh:
Yes, that is so. And what?
The questioner:
He says: As for Juwayriyyah, she was in the share of Thabit ibn Qays, so she sought the help of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to pay her mahr, and he helped her with that, then he married her.
The Shaykh:
Yes, that is the important point: that she was a slave, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made her freedom her mahr, and this indicates that a benefit can be a mahr just like money. Yes.
