If I forgive my husband the Mahr because he is not capable of giving it, can I accept it when he gets money and he wants to give the Mahr to me?

ANSWER: If you forgive him by your own will (without any pressure from anyone) then he’s not obliged to pay you later. But if he does then there’s no problem in accepting it.

Is it mandatory to complete full amount of mohrana before marriage?

ANSWER: If you mean mahr then if the bride agrees without any pressure from anyone then there’s no problem in giving the mahr later. It’s a debt on the husband.

Once the Mahr is bought by the groom for the bride, is there any ruling that the Mahr needs to be given directly all by the groom himself to the bride or can he ask his parents or the girl’s parents to hand it over to her.

ANSWER: If the marriage contract was not done yet, she shouldn’t be in contact with him. If he is already married to her, there is no problem in him giving to her or to her father.

Please verify some people show some hadith in which Prophet S.A.W asked a man to give the Surah of a Quran in Mehr to his will-be-wife. So many people/girls by this hadith ask their respective spouse to give them 5 Salah, self hand written Quran, demand 1 surah of Quran to hifz etc as Mehr. I want to know all these forms of Mehr Permissible in Islam other than money?

ANSWER: Reciting surah is no mahr. It must be an item given to the wife; cash, car, apartment / house, etc. Only if he doesn’t possess anything at all, not even an extra shirt, then he may teach his wife a portion of the Quran as Mahar.

There is a brother who has asked for my hand in marriage. I am considering to ask him to memorize a surah as part of my mahr or as a condition of marriage. He agreed. Am I allowed to do this? And if so do you have any suggestion of any surah. I’ve read Surah An-Noor, An-Nisa and Al-Maidah are surahs that were adviced to learn by the salaf in different occasions.

ANSWER: Mahr should be paid in money, gold or land, plot or anything material so that if you were to opt for khulu in the future, you can compensate him by returning to him what he had given.

If a man’s parents give gold (as mahr) to his wife on his behalf at the time of marriage and the man later demands and takes back some of that gold from his wife, would it be haraam?

ANSWER: Of course this is haram and he is sinful, as this is the wife’s property and he cannot demand it or take it back without her consent. He is like a dog that vomits and then goes back and eat its vomit.

Suppose during aqd nikah mahr is written as 200000 tk, but with the intention that 70000 is obligatory to pay (as husbands capacity is low) and the remaining are optional for the husband, its totally up to him will he pay it or not? Is this type of condition allowed?
