What is the ruling if the dower paid is a pregnant, mature female animal that carries a pregnancy?
General Chapter
Al-Mughni
Book of Dowry (Mahr)
Primary text
If the female animal carrying a pregnancy is delivered with the offspring, the offspring constitutes an attached increase in value. If the wife offers it to the husband along with the mother animal, he is obliged to accept it, and this addition is not considered a defect. Consequently, the sale of the animal is not voided due to this pregnancy. This ruling applies specifically to animals.
