❖ Conditions of Divorce in Relation to Khulʿ
Written by: ʿImrān Ayyūb Lāhorī
❀ Ruling
Since khulʿ is not considered a divorce (ṭalāq) in its essence, the conditions of divorce are not applied to it.
For example:
- It is not required that the woman be free from menstruation.
- Nor is it necessary that she be in a period of purity in which her husband has not had intimacy with her.
❀ Scholarly Statement
Ibn Qudāmah رحمه الله said:
There is no sin if a woman takes khulʿ during menstruation or in a period of purity after intercourse.
