Musleh Khan – Q&A – Does the mahr have to be of material value

			So I can record whatever.
		

			My question is, has the diary got to be material value can include the husband helping the wife
memorize the Quran? Hello hiren we come Great question, the Mahatma or the dowry, the gift that the
husband gives to his wife when they get married, and we all we all know that the mother or the dowry
is actually a pillar of marriage in Islam, you must fulfill that. Now the question here is can the
dowry does it actually have to be a materialistic object that is a value? Or can it be a service? It
can be a service and this is also based on many Hadith of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
one in particular, were a men a Sahaba. He wanted to marry a woman but the prophet SAW Selim asked
		

			him, do you have any gift, anything of value that you can present to her? And the man said, No,
yeah, rasulillah All I have is this is odd. All I have is this garment that I wrapped myself with a
profit I sell them ask them, Do you not even have a metal ring? And the man says, Yes, I have that.
And that's it. I have no other wealth, no food, nothing. So then the prophets I send them said, Do
you know any poor men? And the man said, Yes, I know this soda. I know that soda. And soda prophets,
I said them allowed this man to provide a service to the woman that he wanted to marry, what was the
service The service was to teach her poor and teach her something that he already has. Scholars have
		

			taken this hadith and said it is permissible to also make the dowry or the Maha a type of service.
So you can say to your husband or your future husband, Look, my motto is I want you to cook or cut
the grass for one entire year. This is my service or I want you to do the laundry for an entire
year, whatever the case is, but it's got to be something that the woman she's content with, and she
is pleased with. So absolutely, it can be a service just like hello
