about annulling the marriage contract before consummation with the woman?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : ... and we agreed and they agreed to everything, and I wanted to cancel, meaning to leave it, do I have to pay the amount?
The Shaykh : You have to pay half the amount.
The questioner : Pay half the amount?
The Shaykh : Yes, and why did you cancel it?
The questioner : Yes?
The Shaykh : Why did you cancel it?
The questioner : By Allah, O Shaykh, you may have learned about my matter, the girl who called you regarding the University of Jordan.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Did you know her?
The Shaykh : No, I did not know her, but I knew her question.
The questioner : Yes, that is my intention, may Allah reward you with good, I want to ask you about the same question, so I - Subhan Allah! - went with my wife and we asked for her hand and my wife agreed, so now my wife tells me frankly that I am very upset, meaning more because she is going to marry another woman, so I told her: the girl, meaning we intend to take her for the sake of Allah - Mighty and Majestic - because she has a trial in her right foot, she limps.
The Shaykh: All right.
The questioner : Yes...
The Shaykh : Yes, now you have to bear the responsibility of your haste and not consulting your friends and relatives.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : So pay half the mahr, and if Allah wills, is it not a lot?
The questioner : One hundred dinars as the advance, and five hundred as the deferred.
The Shaykh : Yes, it is simple.
The questioner : Yes, I have to pay, meaning?
The Shaykh : Yes, half the mahr.
The questioner : Unconditionally, meaning?
The Shaykh : Unless they waive it, that is another discussion.
The questioner : Okay; how do I tell them, do I tell them that you want money from me, or do I just tell them to forgive me?
The Shaykh : What is the difference between your two phrases?
The questioner : Good, they do not know the legal ruling that if I left it because I did not perform a marriage contract, they do not know what I am? If I cancelled it, I have to pay an amount.
The Shaykh : How are you saying you did not know about the marriage contract?
The questioner : I did not perform it?
The Shaykh : Then what did you do?
The questioner : We agreed at their place, we went as men and he said: We have given you, and may Allah bless you, just as you are... the name of the dowry.
The Shaykh : Meaning it became a legal contract?
The questioner : I told you, I do not know, you are more knowledgeable than me about the legal ruling, I told you: we went as men, and they told them that we want your daughter for our brother Muhammad Kamel, and they told the men one hundred dinars as the advance and five hundred as the deferred, I was the one who spoke and they said we agreed, may Allah bless you, congratulations to you.
The Shaykh : Yes, did you and Abu Abdullah agree that this is a legal contract in your custom or not?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : If it is a legal contract, half the mahr comes out for them, and then you reconcile with them, but before anything else, understand with Abu Abdullah.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : That this thing you call the dowry, is the dowry a legal contract or not in the custom of Jordanians.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : If it is a contract, as I think, a legal contract, half the mahr comes out for you.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : If they forgive you, praise be to Allah.
The questioner : Meaning if it is a legal contract, I tell them that you want half the value from me, do I say it like that?
The Shaykh : Yes, it is necessary.
The questioner : Meaning I inform them, meaning.
The Shaykh : No, you do not have to hide it from them.
The questioner : Yes, may Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : May Allah preserve you.
The questioner : Forgive us, peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
The Shaykh : You have to pay half the amount.
