I have always seen heard all these Jahez things that girls take with them when getting married. I always thought that Islamically this was wrong and that there is no such thing as Jahez in Islam. I don’t want to take any Jahez but my mom says things like …log kia kahe ge? beti ko khali hath bej dia etc etc …which is totally the reason why Jahez is forbidden right?
When I spoke to my dad about it, we got arguing on this point. He also believes in this jahez thing and justifies it as a sunna :o :o :o
He says that when Fatimah RD got married to Ali RD, the prophet gave them household neccessities and furniture as their jahez and following what the prophet SAW did is sunna therefore Jahez is sunna.
This totally goes against the lesson I have been taught at school of Jahez being wrong, being an Indian tradition etc.
Some help to clear away this confusion?
