Must the list of movables presented to the bride's family include everything that furnishes the house, or only what the bride's family purchased, with quantity and value recorded, or just quantity? Is this list a legitimate right for the bride or a custom? And is the bride's guardian entitled to request a check for the value of the movables before their purchase and the writing of the list?

What is written in the list of movables depends on what the husband and the wife's guardian have agreed upon regarding the dowry and the furniture of the marital home. This refers to custom if it does not contradict Islamic law. Custom in Egypt dictates that furniture is purchased from the woman's dowry and her money or that of her family, thus becoming the wife's property. Based on this, all furniture is to be listed, whether purchased by the husband or the wife's family, and it is considered the wife's property and part of her dowry. There is no objection to recording the value of these movables. Likewise, there is no objection to issuing a check for the value of the movables, as it documents the wife's ownership of them.
