The ruling on marriage between relatives when there is no stipulation or mahr
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If brothers agree to marry off their children, each one marrying the other’s daughter without a mahr, does this fall under shighar?
Answer:
This is not shighar, if it is not a stipulated condition. This one proposed to this one, and this one proposed to this one, and the fathers of the children and the women agreed to it without any condition; there is no harm in that. However, the mahr is obligatory, and each woman must receive the mahr al-mithl (the equivalent mahr), even if they do not specify it; the mahr is obligatory. For Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said: [al-Baqarah:236]. The marriage is valid, then He said after that: [al-Baqarah:236]. And in the authentic hadith, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about the woman for whom no mahr is stipulated, and he said: Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 6:1089.

Answer: If they agree to it, there is no harm. If they agree on clothing, or on dirhams, or on gold and silver jewelry, that is sufficient.
