Guidance on Facilitating Matters of Marriage
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence, perhaps the listener is waiting for a word from your Eminence regarding facilitating the matter of marriage?
Answer:
The marriage has already taken place; now he must fulfill what he committed to. However, we advise others to facilitate matters regarding mahr (bridal gifts) and not to be excessive. A believer should not be excessive, nor should the woman, her brother, or her mother. They should be lenient in matters and not be strict. The mahr should be according to the husband's circumstances; he should not be burdened with what he cannot afford. Rather, there should be lightness and facilitation in the mahr and in the wedding feasts as well. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
