على من يكون المهر؟Who is Responsible for the Dowry if a Man Marries Off His Minor Child?
Hadith 16774
١٦٧٧٤ - حدثنا وكيع عن شعبة قال: سألت (الحكم) (١) وحمادًا عن الرجل يزوج ابنه وهو صغير، قال (الحكم) (٢): على (الابن) (٣).
Hazrat Sha’bah says that I asked Hazrat Hakam and Hazrat Hammad about a person who arranges the marriage of his minor child: upon whom is the dowry (mahr) obligatory? Hazrat Hakam said that the dowry is obligatory upon the boy. Hazrat Hammad said that it is obligatory upon the father. It is narrated from Hazrat Qatadah that Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) said that the dowry is obligatory upon the one for whom you arranged the marriage, i.e., the boy.
