Question
Is Mahr a condition for the Nikah?
Answer
Mahr is not a condition for the validity of Nikah. Even without Mahr, the Nikah will be valid. But it is the Waajib obligation of the husband to pay Mahr.
It is the right of the wife. The wife has the right to refuse to go to her husband after the Nikah if he has not paid the Mahr.
