Is Jode ki Raqam forbidden?

  Is Jode Ki Raqam forbidden?  Why are we silent on this issue?

It is forbidden to ask for dowry, be it in cash or kind.  The one who does so will be held accountable before Allah Most High.  A conference about this “Family Issues and Islam” was organized by Abul Hasanaat Islamic Research Center on this.  You may find the lecture on the website or alternatively may procure a CD/DVD of this from Abul Hasanaat Islamic Research Center.

And Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala) knows best.
