The answer

It is understood from the question that the increase in the mahr (dowry) occurred after the Shariah contract but before its official documentation. Some scholars are of the view that this increase is appended to the mahr, and this is what Ahmad and Abu Hanifa stipulated. In contrast, Al-Shafi'i holds that it is a gift and not appended to the contract. As for the deferred mahr, it is to be paid in the currency in which it was named, unless the value of the currency has undergone an excessive change, in which case it is permissible to revert to the (current) value, or upon mutual agreement to pay in another currency at the exchange rate at the time of payment.
