Question
Is it permissable to give for instance a golden ring as mah?
Answer
Walaikum assalam wa rahmatullah,
I pray that this finds you well, and in the best of health and spirits. May Allah grant you all good and success in this life and the next.
Anything of considered monetary value--such as a ring--can be given as mahr. [ Ibn Abidin, Radd al-Muhtar; Qudri Basha]
And Allah alone gives success.
Faraz Rabbani
