Is the mahr (dowry) required in marriage?

Short answer

Yes. The Quran commands giving women their dowries as a gift (4:4). It belongs to the wife, and there is no fixed amount. It can be small or large by agreement, and the best is what is easy and sincere.

Evidence

Quran

وَءَاتُوا۟ ٱلنِّسَآءَ صَدُقَٰتِهِنَّ نِحْلَةًۭ ۚ فَإِن طِبْنَ لَكُمْ عَن شَىْءٍۢ مِّنْهُ نَفْسًۭا فَكُلُوهُ هَنِيٓـًۭٔا مَّرِيٓـًۭٔا ﴿٤﴾

Kuma ku bai wa mãtã sadãkõkĩnsu da sauƙin bãyarwa. Sa'an nan idan suka yãfe muku wani abu daga gare shi, da dãɗin rai, to, ku ci shi da jin dãɗi da sauƙin haɗiya.
