Giving the value of mahr faatimi when paying the mahr
Q: I got married approximately 9 years ago. At the time my wife and her father wanted Mehr e faatimi as mehr. However I could not afford the mehr e faatimi at that time. They then agreed to a lesser amount but I told them that insha allah one day when I am able to then I will give her the full mehr e faatimi amount. This was just verbally said and was not written down.
Alhamdullilah I am now in a position where I can give her the full mehr e faatimi amount. I would like to know if I should give her the mehr e faatimi amount at that time (9 years ago) which was approximately R 12 500.00 or should I give her the mehr e faatimi amount of current value which is approximately R28 000.00?
