det tilladte 'mahr'

[Muhyi al din]

Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Rahim

Is it permissible for a woman and/or her parents to demand whatever 'amount' of mahr? or is there a rule of thump to what is reasonable and acceptable for muslims (maybe an an upper limit)?

Er det tilladt for en kvinde og/eller hendes forældre at kræve en hvilken som helst beløb i mahr? eller er der en tommelfngerregel for hvad der er rimeligt og accepteret for muslimer (måske en øvre grænse)?

As-salaamu alaykum,

Hvis bror Idris tillader;

Jeg har lige siddet med al-Hidaya; et af de mest anerkendte værker indenfor Hanafi fiqh skrevet af Imam Burhanuddin Marghinani. Der står i Al-Hidaya vol 1, kap. 3:

"The smallest dower is ten Dirhams*. Imam Shafi'i, radiya Allahu 'anhu, says that whatever sum may be lawful as the price of a commodity in purchase an sale, is lawful as a dower, because the dower is the right of the woman, and consequently it must depend upon herself to determine the amount of it.

The arguments of our doctors in this case are twofold:
First: A precept of the Messenger of Allah, salla lāhu 'alayhi wa sallam, which expressly declares "There is no dower under ten Dirhams"
Secondly: The law enjoins a dower with a view to manifest respect for the wife, wherefore it must be fixed, in its smallest degree at sucha sum as may be respectable; and this is ten dirhams that being the lowest amount of a theft inducing the punishment of amputation of a limb, wich shows that such sum is the least that can be regarded in a important or respectable light."

*The value of the Dirhams is very uncertain. Ten Dirhams, according to one account, make, about six shillings and eightpence sterling

Jeg har indsendt spørgsmålet med følgende ordlyd, var nød til at redigere det lidt:

Is it permissible for a woman and/or her parents to demand whatever amount of mahr, or is there a rule on what is reasonable and acceptable for muslims (an upper limit, for example)?

håber det er acceptabelt wa salam...

Svaret fra Egyptens Fatwa Hus:

This matter depends upon agreement between the two parties on one side, and the prevailing custom on the other.

Dette emne afhænger af enigheden mellem de to parter på den ene side, og de fremherskende normer på den anden side.

Jeg synes, at dette spørgsmål fortjener at blive sendt til andre lærde, så vi kan få et lidt tydeligere svar Det vil jeg gøre inshallah.
