What is the dowry entitlement for a Dhimmi woman married to a Dhimmi man when the dowry was not mentioned in the contract?

Primary text

When a Dhimmi man marries a Dhimmi woman without specifying any dowry, she is entitled to the dowry of her equivalent (*mahr al-mithl*), both before and after consummation, similar to the ruling for Muslim marriages. This is the position of Al-Shafi'i. The evidence for this is that this marriage is one concluded without any specific dowry designation, thus the *mahr al-mithl* becomes obligatory for the woman, just as it is for a Muslim woman, to prevent her from being treated like one whose status is ambiguous or permissible without obligation. This rationale applies equally to the Dhimmi.
