Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : What is the ruling on the case where the father of the woman stipulates to the husband that he not pay the mahr?
The Shaykh : Who? The wife's father?
The questioner : Yes
The Shaykh : But will he pay it now?
The questioner : No,
The Shaykh : It is not permissible, meaning whether the husband stipulates it or the wali of the woman, but it is said to the wali of the woman: May Allah reward you with good, as long as you are eager to give your daughter without a mahr, you give her a mahr so that he can give it to her.
