Is teaching permissible knowledge a valid dower (Sadaq)?

Primary text
Teaching the wife permissible knowledge, such as specific permissible poetry, jurisprudence (Fiqh), grammar (Nahw), or other religious sciences upon which taking wages is permissible, is valid and the stipulation is sound. This is analogous to the usufruct of a dwelling, as compensation is permitted for such teaching.
