📜 Akad nikah · #24
May a wife waive or return her mahr (dower)?
Yes, if it is by the wife's own free will without pressure.
Allah says: "But if they willingly remit to you any part of their mahr, then enjoy it (make use of the gift) as something wholesome and pleasant." Its lawfulness depends on genuine consent; the husband may not force, press or threaten his wife into giving up her mahr. It is best for the waiver to be recorded in writing to avoid disputes later. See Mahr.
