[Machine] In the man who marries a woman, he should be alone with her and not touch her, then he should divorce her, and she will only have half of the dowry, because Allah says {and if you divorce them before you have touched them and you have already specified for them an obligation, then give them half of what you specified} [Al-Baqarah 237].

فِي الرَّجُلِ يَتَزَوَّجُ الْمَرْأَةَ يَخْلُو بِهَا فَلَا يَمَسَّهَا ثُمَّ يُطَلِّقُهَا لَيْسَ لَهَا إِلَّا نِصْفُ الصَّدَاقِ لِأَنَّ اللهَ تَعَالَى يَقُولُ {وَإِنْ طَلَّقْتُمُوهُنَّ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ تَمَسُّوهُنَّ وَقَدْ فَرَضْتُمْ لَهُنَّ فَرِيضَةً فَنِصْفُ مَا فَرَضْتُمْ} [البقرة 237]

bayhaqi:14475Abū Zakariyyā Yaḥyá b. Ibrāhīm from my father

[Machine] In His saying, exalted be He: "And if you divorce them before you have touched them and you have already specified for them an obligation, then [give] half of what you specified" [Surah Al-Baqarah 2:237]. This refers to the man who marries a woman and has named a dowry for her, then divorces her before consummating the marriage. In this case, she is entitled to half of the dowry, and no more than that.  

البيهقي:١٤٤٧٥أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو زَكَرِيَّا يَحْيَى بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أنبأ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ الطَّرَائِفِيُّ ثنا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ صَالِحٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ

فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى {وَإِنْ طَلَّقْتُمُوهُنَّ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ تَمَسُّوهُنَّ وَقَدْ فَرَضْتُمْ لَهُنَّ فَرِيضَةً فَنِصْفُ مَا فَرَضْتُمْ} [البقرة 237] فَهُوَ الرَّجُلُ يَتَزَوَّجُ الْمَرْأَةَ وَقَدْ سَمَّى لَهَا صَدَاقًا ثُمَّ يُطَلِّقُهَا مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ يَمَسَّهَا وَالْمَسُّ الْجِمَاعُ فَلَهَا نِصْفُ الصَّدَاقِ وَلَيْسَ لَهَا أَكْثَرُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ
