Muwatta Imam Malik (Riwayat Yahya)
كتاب النكاحBook: On the Explanation of Marriage
بَابُ مَا جَاءَ فِي الصَّدَاقِ وَالْحِبَاءِChapter on what is reported regarding dowry and gifts
Hadith 1084B1
قَالَ مَالِكٌ فِي الْمَرْأَةِ يُنْكِحُهَا أَبُوهَا، وَيَشْتَرِطُ فِي صَدَاقِهَا الْحِبَاءَ يُحْبَى بِهِ : إِنَّ مَا كَانَ مِنْ شَرْطٍ يَقَعُ بِهِ النِّكَاحُ، فَهُوَ لِابْنَتِهِ إِنِ ابْتَغَتْهُ، وَإِنْ فَارَقَهَا زَوْجُهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ بِهَا، فَلِزَوْجِهَا شَطْرُ الْحِبَاءِ الَّذِي وَقَعَ بِهِ النِّكَاحُ .
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: If a person marries off his minor daughter and the boy has no personal wealth, then the dowry will be obligatory upon the boy’s father. And if the boy has personal wealth, then the dowry will be given from his wealth, except in the case where the father takes the dowry upon himself. And this marriage will be binding upon the girl as long as she is a minor and under her father's guardianship.
