Hadith.3387 - In the book "Nawadir" by Muhammad ibn Abi Umayr, from multiple narrators among our companions, from Abu Abdullah (as): Concerning a man who collected the dowry of his daughter from her husband and then passed away-can she demand her dowry from her husband, or is her father's collection considered her own collection? Imam (as) said
"If she had authorized him to collect her dowry from her husband, then she has no right to demand it again. However, if she had not authorized him, then she has the right to claim it. In this case, the husband may seek repayment from the father's heirs-unless she was a minor under his care. In such a situation, the father's collection is valid on her behalf. If the husband divorces her before consummation, the father may waive part of the dowry and retain part, but he does not have the authority to forgo the entire amount. This is based on the verse of Allah (swt), the Exalted: 'Except when they waive it or he (the guardian) in whose hand is the marriage contract waives it.' (Surah Al-Baqarah 2: 237) This refers to the father or anyone the woman appoints and entrusts with her affairs, such as a brother, a relative, or others."
3387 - وَ فِي نَوَادِرِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ غَيْرِ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ
فِي رَجُلٍ قَبَضَ صَدَاقَ اِبْنَتِهِ مِنْ زَوْجِهَا ثُمَّ مَاتَ هَلْ لَهَا أَنْ تُطَالِبَ زَوْجَهَا بِصَدَاقِهَا أَوْ قَبْضُ أَبِيهَا قَبْضُهَا فَقَالَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ "إِنْ كَانَتْ وَكَّلَتْهُ بِقَبْضِ صَدَاقِهَا مِنْ زَوْجِهَا فَلَيْسَ لَهَا أَنْ تُطَالِبَهُ وَ إِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ وَكَّلَتْهُ فَلَهَا ذَلِكَ وَ يَرْجِعُ اَلزَّوْجُ عَلَى وَرَثَةِ أَبِيهَا بِذَلِكَ إِلاَّ أَنْ تَكُونَ حِينَئِذٍ صَبِيَّةً فِي حَجْرِهِ فَيَجُوزُ لِأَبِيهَا أَنْ يَقْبِضَ صَدَاقَهَا عَنْهَا وَ مَتَى طَلَّقَهَا قَبْلَ اَلدُّخُولِ بِهَا فَلِأَبِيهَا أَنْ يَعْفُوَ عَنْ بَعْضِ اَلصَّدَاقِ وَ يَأْخُذَ بَعْضاً وَ لَيْسَ لَهُ أَنْ يَدَعَ كُلَّهُ وَ ذَلِكَ قَوْلُ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ: ۝ إِلاّٰ أَنْ يَعْفُونَ أَوْ يَعْفُوَا اَلَّذِي بِيَدِهِ عُقْدَةُ اَلنِّكٰاحِ ۝ يَعْنِي اَلْأَبَ وَ اَلَّذِي تُوَكِّلُهُ اَلْمَرْأَةُ وَ تُوَلِّيهِ أَمْرَهَا مِنْ أَخٍ أَوْ قَرَابَةٍ أَوْ غَيْرِهِمَا".
