Must the invoices for the furniture purchases be in my name or my fiancée's name, if the agreement prior to the engagement was for no list of bridal furnishings (manqulat), and an agreement was reached with the father for a substantial deferred dower (mahr mu'akhkhar) as an alternative to the prompt dower (mahr mu'ajjal), provided that the furniture be purchased equally by both parties?

If the marital furniture is not part of the Mahr (dowry), then each spouse owns what pertains to them from the furniture. The default is that the purchase invoice should be in the name of the buyer; thus, what the husband bought is registered in his name, and what the wife bought is registered in her name.
