What is the right of each spouse over the other if the wife dies before consummation?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
If a woman enters into a marriage contract and then dies before consummation, her husband inherits from her, and she inherits from him if he dies before consummating the marriage with her. In this case, the woman is entitled to the full dowry, as her death before consummation does not nullify the dowry.
