Article 32 of Jaafari Personal Status Law

English translation

It is not valid to designate as dower anything prohibited under Islamic Sharia if both spouses are Muslims, such as wine, swine, musical instruments, property obtained from usury, and the like. If such a thing is designated as dower, the specified dower is void and the contract is valid, and upon consummation she is entitled, as against him, to the dower of women comparable to her.
Arabic original
لا يصح جعل المهر ما هو محرم في الشريعة الإسلامية إن كان الزوجان مسلمين مثل الخمر والخنزير أو آلات الطرب أو المال المستفاد من الربا وغيرها، فلو جعل ذلك مهراً بطل المهر المسمى وصح العقد، ومع الدخول تستحق عليـه مهـر أمثالها.
