Second, the concept of dowry payments according to Imam Syafi'i which allows the postponement of dowry payments which allows partial or complete postponement of dowry payments if the prospective wife agrees. explains that dowry payments can be made in cash directly at the marriage contract and can also be postponed if the bride and groom agree. The suspension of dowry payments can be done in part or in full according to the agreement with the bride and groom.
