Question

I want some Ahadith about dowry system. Because my spouse's family wants from me and I will not afford this. Kindly give me the answer.

Answer

The ruling is that the mahr that is in vogue in your spouse's family must be given to her.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
