The questioner : The man... a dispute arose regarding whether he entered her or not, so should the wife be examined, given the prior knowledge... and is it known?
The Shaykh : No, the point is that the bridal gift is not established except by intercourse. If he secluded himself with her, even if he did not have intercourse with her, and even if he did not speak to her, the bridal gift is established.
The questioner : Half of it, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : No, all of it.
The questioner : All of it?
