Q: Can mehr be paid over a period of time. What are the mehrpayment options?

A: One pay upfront the full promised amount or if both sides agree, it can be paid over a period of time.

It can also be a combination of both. For example, 50% upfront, 50% paid every month until it is fully paid.

The witnesses too must acknowledge this. So this way, any futures adverse issues can be prevented.

Allah Certainly Knows Best.
