Question
In many cases the Mahr at the time of Nikah is only stated as 'jewellery'. Is this sufficient? Should the value also be stated?
Answer
The value of the jewellery must be mentioned for the Mahr, not only 'jewellery'. Furthermore, if the gold/silver jewellery is not given immediately, but deferred to a later date, then the weight of the gold/silver should be stated. In this case, value will not be valid.
