Are there significant differences among scholars regarding the ruling on the list of movables in which all movables are written in the wife's name only, with a detailed mention of the reasons for the disagreement?

"What is common in some countries, regarding the writing of a list of movable goods purchased by the spouses or their families, and considering them the property of the wife, does not differ in its ruling from the previous fatwas and the fatwa of the Permanent Committee. This is because the custom in those countries dictates that the woman is furnished from her Mahr, and what the husband purchases falls under the Mahr, which is a right of the woman. Thus, it is added to what the wife or her family purchased, and all of it becomes her property."
