Question

Salam Mufti saheb. Does the Imam have to announce the amount of mahr I will pay to my fiancé in the kutba?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

It is not necessary to announce the mahr during the khuṭbah. The nikāḥ will be valid.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
