Primary text

If the apostate spouse, or both spouses, embrace Islam during the 'iddah, and the apostasy originated from both parties, the wife is not entitled to *mahr* for that intercourse. This is because it is established that the marriage was never terminated, and he copulated with her while she was his wife.
