In the Name of Allaah ar-Rahmaan ar-Raheem Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakatuh I would like to know what is considered to be reasonable ammount as mahr to be given to the bride after the nikaah? I have found the hadeeth: Narrated By Anas : Abdur Rahman bin 'Auf married a woman and gave her gold equal to the weight of a date stone (as Mahr). When the Prophet noticed the signs of cheerfulness of the marriage (on his face) and asked him about it, he said, "I have married a woman and gave (her) gold equal to a date stone in weight (as Mahr)." Saheeh al-Bukhaaree Vol 7, Book 62. Wedlock, Marriage (Nikaah). Hadith 078. Can we use this as a guideline inshallaah? Jazak-Allaahu khairan. Was-sallaam alaykum
