An-Nisa' (The Women)
Surah 4 · Verse 4
And give their dowries to the women as a free gift, but if they of themselves (voluntarily) give up anything from it to you, then absorb it (in your wealth) enjoying the result (of this increase).
“The dowry or the Mehar is to be given to a wife as a gift which she could spend according to her will, she also has the liberty to forgo it, in which case the husband can use it as he likes.”
