Peace be upon you and God's mercy and blessings.
Sayyid Sistani:
There are two scenarios:
First Scenario: If the dowry of Lady Fatimah (peace be upon her) is mentioned without any specification, as if the wife says: (I marry you on the dowry of Lady Fatimah (peace be upon her)):
In this case, it refers to the dowry of a similar woman, as the value of Lady Fatimah's dowry is not known to His Eminence.
Second Scenario: If the dowry of Lady Fatimah (peace be upon her) is mentioned with a specification, as if the wife says: (I marry you on the dowry of Lady Fatimah (peace be upon her) equivalent to 500 dirhams), then it is determined by what has been specified.
The dirham equals 2.5 grams of silver, making the total 1250 grams of silver.
