A question about Nikha, Marriage Dowry?

as long as you agree it is permissible, but he is not allowed to enforce that on you.

a lot of people do it, they name a amahar and they pay half, they leave the other half as muaakhar, if -god forbids- divorce happens the husband must pay the rest of it.

On another note: It is preferred not put more financial burden on the groom, as he is required in islam to provide for you -even if you make more money than he does- while you are not required to share any financial burdens with him. if you already approve of his character and want to spend the rest of your life with him, why put him in dept just to be with you. marry him with what he has and your marriage will be blessed inshallah.

Narrated by Ibni Abbas(r.a) that when Ali (r.a) got married Rasulullah(s) said to Ali (r.a) give her something, he said I don't have.He (s) said:"where is ur shield"(Abu Dawood & Nisai)

Sunan bin Dawood 2118, & Nisai 3375/76.

Allahu wa rasuluhu aalam.

This is what it says in the Quran. Remember it is in case of divorce not at the time of marriage.

2:237 If ye divorce them before ye have touched them and ye have appointed unto them a portion, then half of that which ye appointed, unless they agree to forgo it, or he agreeth to forgo it in whose hand is the marriage tie. To forgo is nearer to piety. And forget not kindness among yourselves. Allah is Seer of what ye do.

it is allowed as per agreement ,but you must be fair ,the prophet Peace b upon him , celebrate nika (mehr such as ,) iron ring , verses of the Quran ,you should not put a burden that he cannot pay ., you must be fair , hope you get the answer
