It is permissible to hand over the dowry at any time agreed upon by the spouses, whether before the marriage contract, during it, or after it but before consummation. This matter is based on custom, and what is important is that an agreement is reached. So, if they agree to hand it over immediately, it becomes obligatory, and if they agree to postpone it, it becomes obligatory at its due time. If the dowry is presented before the contract for the purpose of preparation, this is sufficient.
