Is the failure to itemize kitchenware, glassware, and furnishings in the list of movables considered a violation of God's law and religion?
What is known as the "list of movables" is a documentation of the wife's right to them. What is written in it refers to the agreement between the husband and the wife's guardian regarding the dowry and the furniture of the marital home, and this is subject to custom as long as it does not contradict Islamic law. The Permanent Committee has issued a permitting the mention of movables in the marriage contract and for both spouses to sign it to clarify what the husband paid in case of dispute. Refusing to write down what the bride buys in the list is not against Islamic law, but agreeing to write down all the furniture in compliance with custom is permissible as long as it does not contradict Islamic law.
