Apa itu mahar dan adakah ia wajib?

Mahar (mas kahwin) ialah hak milik isteri yang wajib diberikan oleh suami kerana akad nikah. Allah berfirman: "Berikanlah kepada perempuan-perempuan itu mas kahwin mereka sebagai pemberian yang wajib." Menyebut mahar dalam akad adalah sunat, tetapi jika tidak disebut, akad tetap sah dan isteri berhak mendapat mahar mithil . Mahar milik penuh isteri, bukan milik bapa atau keluarga; suami tidak boleh mengambilnya kembali tanpa kerelaannya. Lihat Mahar dan Hak suami & isteri .

What is mahr and is it obligatory?

The mahr (mas kahwin) is the wife's property, which the husband must give because of the marriage contract.
Allah says: "And give the women their mahr as an obligatory gift." Stating the mahr in the contract is recommended, but if it is not stated, the contract is still valid and the wife is entitled to mahr mithil. The mahr belongs entirely to the wife, not to her father or family; the husband may not take it back without her willing consent. See Mahr and Rights of husband & wife.
