The answer

The dowry of "Mahr al-Mithl" (a dowry equivalent to that given to women of similar status) is resorted to if the dowry was not specified. However, if it was specified, then what was agreed upon by both parties is considered. The list of movables aims to document the wife's right to them, and what is written in it refers to what was agreed upon between the husband and the wife's guardian regarding the dowry and the furniture of the marital home. There is no objection to writing items in the list that the husband did not purchase, as long as he is agreeable to it.
