[Machine] In a similar situation, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ approved the marriage of a man from among us to a woman from the Bani Ru'as tribe, known as Birwa bint Washiq. The man left and entered a well, but unfortunately he fell and died, and he had not paid the dowry for her. So they came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he said, "How is her dowry?" They replied, "No more than a camel and no less than a piece of cloth." She also has the right to inheritance and is obligated to observe the waiting period (iddah).
