A woman who obtains khul: may her husband take her back?

Habib bin Mahran (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I asked Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abi Awfa (may Allah be pleased with him): If a woman takes khul' from her husband in exchange for the remaining dower (mahr) he owed her, can the two of them return to each other? He said: Yes, if divorce was not mentioned in it, they may return with a new dower.

He (Habib bin Mahran) said: And I asked Mahan (may Allah have mercy on him), and he said: Yes, even if it is for a jug of water.

Amir (al-Sha'bi) (may Allah have mercy on him) and Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him) said: When a man gives his wife one divorce in return for compensation, he has no right to take her back; rather, he must send a marriage proposal.

Hisham (may Allah have mercy on him) said: My father used to say: The husband of the woman who has taken khul' has more right to propose marriage to her during the waiting period.

Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him) said: When the man divorces the woman by khul', and then both of them regret it while the woman is in her waiting period, he cannot take her back without a marriage proposal.

Al-Zuhri (may Allah have mercy on him) said: He may not marry her for less than what he took from his wife.

Maymun bin Mihran (may Allah have mercy on him) said regarding the woman who has taken khul': If the husband accepted the ransom from her and after that proposed marriage to her, he may marry her, but he must set a new dower.

Al-Hasan (may Allah have mercy on him) said: If the husband of the woman who has taken khul' wishes to take her back, he must propose marriage to her with a new dower.
