Question:If the due date of the dowry is not specified, and it was not the intention of the couple for it to be immediately due, but they did not pay attention to the timing of its due date, does the due date fall away, or is it understood to be the most likely time, such as the nearer of the two possible dates?

Answer:In the name of Allah, the contract is valid in any case, but there must be an agreement on a specific due date, not one that is uncertain between two possibilities. Allah knows best.

Question:If the deferred dowry is a specific personal item, such as a particular room or apartment, does the wife have the right to sell it if it is no longer in use, considering that she owns the dowry by the marriage contract, but she is not entitled to take possession of it until the due date?

Answer:In the name of Allah, if the buyer agrees to the situation, there is no objection. However, the item cannot be delivered to the buyer before the due date of the dowry. Allah knows best.
