2. Amount of the bride price:
a. Maximum amount: The scholars are in consensus that there is no ceiling for the amount of the bride price. This consensus is reported by al-Qaadee ‘Abd al-Wahhaab, al-Mawaardee, Ibn ‘Abd al-Barr, Ibn Rushd, al-Qurtubee, and al-SHawkaanee.
b. Minimum amount: There is no minimum amount for the bride price, which is the view of the Shafi’i and Hanbali Madhabs. It is also the view of the Dhahiri scholars, the majority of scholars from the early and later generations, Ibn al-Munthir, Ibn ‘Abd al-Barr, Ibn al-Qayyim, Ibn ‘Uthaymeen, and the Permanent Committee.
c. Requesting an affordable bride price: It is recommended to request from the groom an affordable amount for the bride price and to refrain from being extravagant in the bride price.  [80] It is already discussed in the section of the recommended actions in marriage.
d. Disputing over the bride price after conducting the marriage contract: If the spouses dispute the amount of the bride price after they have conducted the marriage contract, the words of the husband will be taken as true if he takes an oath about it. This is the view of the Hanbali Madhab, the view of Aboo Yusuf from the Hanafi Madhab, a group from the righteous predecessors and Ibn ‘Uthaymeen, and the view of the Maliki Madhab if the spouses disputed over it after the marriage was consummated.
e. The father marrying off his daughter for a bride price that is less than that of her peers: It is permissible for the husband to marry off his virgin and previously married daughter for a bride price that is less than that of her peers. This ruling does not change even if she was young or an adult, and it is the view of the Hanbali Madhab, and the view of Ibn ‘Uthaymeen provided the marriage serves the best interest of the daughter.
