Marriage without specifying a mahr, then paying a sum after consummation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I have a remaining issue. I married a relative of mine, and no mahr was specified in the contract. After consummation, I gave her a sum of money that I chose on my own. The question is: if this amount is less than the mahr al-mithl, do I owe anything?
Answer:
If she is satisfied with it, her right is fulfilled. If she is satisfied with it, praise be to Allah, even if it is only one riyal. If she is satisfied, the problem is resolved. However, if she is not satisfied, you must return to the judge to have him determine the mahr al-mithl.
