For I have increased you in your dowry by one thousand." It is not valid, and the addition is not binding upon the father's death. The second reason is that the condition here has not been newly introduced in his saying: "If I have a wife," or "if your father is dead." Nor is that in which he placed the one thousand known in its existence, so that the second thousand could be an addition to it. It is possible to distinguish between the issue in which Ahmad explicitly stated the invalidation of the naming, and that in which he stated its validity, by the fact that the attribute for which he made the addition—the father being dead—is not an objective for the woman that can be rightfully compensated for. This is in contrast to the two issues in which the naming was deemed valid, for a woman being free from a co-wife (darra) who would stir up jealousy, share with her, and cause her distress, is one of her greatest objectives. Likewise is her remaining in her house, among her family, and in her homeland. Therefore, she reduced her dowry to attain her objective and increased it when it was missed. Based on this, it is impossible to apply the analogy of one of the two cases to the other, and there would be only one report for each issue: validity in the latter two, and invalidity in the first. Any subsequent issues should be attached to whichever of the two they most resemble.

Section: If he marries her on the condition of divorcing another wife of his, the naming is invalid, and she is entitled to the dowry of her peers. This is the preference of Abu Bakr and the opinion of the majority of jurists, because this is not wealth (mal), and God Most High only said: "that you seek [them] with your wealth" (Surah al-Nisa, 24). Furthermore, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "A woman should not ask for the divorce of her sister to scrape out what is in her vessel; let her marry, for she shall have only what is decreed for her." It is authentic. 'Abd Allah ibn 'Amr narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) that he said: "It is not lawful for a man to marry a woman by [stipulating] the divorce of another." Also, this is not suitable as a price in a sale, nor as a wage in a lease, so it is not valid
