Question
On my Nikah I was asked to pay K500.00 as mahr (dowry), but because of financial problems, I managed to pay only K350.00, and promised to pay the balance at the end of the month. On the due date I gave the balance of K 1 5 0. 00, but she refused. It is now almost six months and every time I give her she refuses. Is my Nikah valid?
Answer
The Nikah is valid.
And Allah Ta'ala Knows Best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
