Ruling on Making a Man's Islam or Teaching the Qur'an as the Bridal Gift
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is well known about Umm Sulaym making Abu Talhah's Islam her bridal gift?
Answer:
Some scholars hold that there is nothing wrong with making a man's Islam or teaching the Qur'an as the bridal gift. However, the revelation of the verse in Surat al-Nisa, which is a Medinan verse, [al-Nisa:24], indicates that money is necessary. Perhaps the story of Umm Sulaym occurred before the revelation of the verse. It is obligatory to stipulate money, even if it is a small amount, [al-Nisa:24].
