Halal Family & relations Quran · 1
Yes. The Quran commands giving women their dowries as a gift (4:4). It belongs to the wife, and there is no upper limit. Scholars differ on the minimum, and what the two spouses agree on is what counts. It is recommended to keep it easy.
وَءَاتُوا۟ ٱلنِّسَآءَ صَدُقَٰتِهِنَّ نِحْلَةًۭ ۚ فَإِن طِبْنَ لَكُمْ عَن شَىْءٍۢ مِّنْهُ نَفْسًۭا فَكُلُوهُ هَنِيٓـًۭٔا مَّرِيٓـًۭٔا ﴿٤﴾
And give unto the women (whom ye marry) free gift of their marriage portions; but if they of their own accord remit unto you a part thereof, then ye are welcome to absorb it (in your wealth).
This is general information, not a fatwa. For your own situation, ask a qualified scholar.
