If the father pays money to the husband at his daughter's request, so that she can return the dowry with which she divorced him ('), then he has the right to demand this money from his daughter, whether he stipulated it to her or not.
However, if the father pays money to the husband without his daughter's request, scholars have differed on whether he can claim the money back from her: some are of the opinion that he can reclaim what he paid, while others believe that he cannot claim anything.
