A woman who claims the mahr after her husband's death

Al-Sha'bi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: If a woman claims the dowry after the death of her husband, the judge will ask her for evidence.

Al-Hakam (may Allah have mercy on him) said that if a woman claims her dower after her husband's death, she must bring evidence (witnesses).

Hammad (may Allah have mercy on him) said: She will receive the dower of women like her (mahr al-mithl).

Al-Sha'bi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: The burden of proof is on the people of the dower, that is, the woman's guardians, and on the man's family is [the proof of] their way out of it.
