The validity of shighar if the mahr is present

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the stronger position regarding the marriage of young people, if there is a mahr between them, is that the breastfeeding from the givers is established.

Answer:
The stronger position is that it is valid, that the contract is valid, because this is what the majority hold, and it is the school of jurisprudence. And the removal of the danger, which is the injustice to women and making them mahr for one another, is removed when the mahr is present. Yes. And because this provides a solution to a problem, because it may be that they married on this basis and years have passed and they have children. It is difficult for you to say it is invalid, especially when there is disagreement and the majority’s school holds it to be valid. It is difficult. But if it is at the beginning, the beginning is easy. But if time has passed, it is difficult for you to say that it is invalid. Yes.
