Q: Replying to the question whether I sat in iddat. The iddat time had past and we had to make nikaah again. He hadn't given me mehr the second time. Am I allowed to ask him for the amount of mehr that I would like?
A: You are deserving of mahr. Since the mahr amount was not agreed upon at the time of the nikaah, you will be entitled to receiving mahr-e-mithal. Mahr-e-mithal refers to the traditional mahr of the girl's paternal family.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
