The questioner : Is the hadith of Ibn 'Abbas that the Prophet returned her with a genuine marriage contract?
The Shaykh : Is it authentic or weak?
The questioner : ... ؟
The Shaykh : Because she is entitled to half of the mahr.
The questioner : ... ؟
The Shaykh : Because the cause of the separation was from his side.
The questioner :"It is recommended to reduce it and specify it in the contract from four hundred dirhams to five hundred. And whatever is valid as a price or a wage is valid as a mahr, even if it is small.
And if he gives her as mahr the teaching of the Qur'an, it is not valid, but rather jurisprudence, proper conduct, and permissible, known poetry. And if he gives her as mahr the divorce of her co-wife, it is not valid, and she is entitled to the mahr of her like. And whenever the specified mahr is invalid, the mahr of her like becomes obligatory."
