How schools differ

Hanafi & Maliki floors

Hanafi sets a floor of 10 silver dirhams (~30.62g). Maliki's floor is 3 dirhams (~9.19g). A husband cannot validly agree to less than that school's minimum.

Shafi'i & Hanbali

These schools fix no material minimum — any genuinely agreed value counts, including non-material mahr such as teaching the Quran.

Fatimi & Azwaj

Mahr Fatimi is 480 dirhams in common Hanafi reckoning and 500 in the other three. Mahr Azwaj an-Nabi (the Prophet ﷺ's standard to most of his wives) is 500 dirhams across schools. Dirham weight used here: 3.0618g silver.
