📜 Akad nikah · #20

What is the difference between mahr and wang hantaran?

The mahr (dower) is obligatory under the Shariah and belongs to the wife; hantaran is custom and not obligatory.
The mahr is stated in the contract and its amount usually follows the minimum set by the state Religious Council. Hantaran money is a Malay customary gift to help with wedding expenses, and its amount is agreed between the families. Islam does not forbid hantaran as long as it is not burdensome and does not become an obstacle to marriage. Scholars encourage moderation because an easy marriage is more blessed. Do not take on large debts just for hantaran. See Mahr.
