موطا امام مالك رواية يحييٰ
Muwatta Imam Malik (Riwayat Yahya)
كتاب الطلاقBook: On the Explanation of Divorce
بَابُ مَا جَاءَ فِي الْخُلْعِChapter on What is Reported Regarding Khul‘ (Divorce by Compensation)
Hadith 1166B1
قَالَ مَالِك فِي الْمُفْتَدِيَةِ الَّتِي تَفْتَدِي مِنْ زَوْجِهَا : أَنَّهُ إِذَا عُلِمَ أَنَّ زَوْجَهَا أَضَرَّ بِهَا، وَضَيَّقَ عَلَيْهَا، وَعُلِمَ أَنَّهُ ظَالِمٌ لَهَا، مَضَى الطَّلَاقُ وَرَدَّ عَلَيْهَا مَالَهَا، قَالَ : فَهَذَا الَّذِي كُنْتُ أَسْمَعُ، وَالَّذِي عَلَيْهِ أَمْرُ النَّاسِ عِنْدَنَا .
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: If a woman gives wealth to free herself, and then it becomes known that the husband was entirely unjust and the woman had no fault, rather the husband forcibly took her money by coercion, then the divorce will take effect upon the woman, and her wealth will be returned to her. This is what I have heard and, in my view, this is the ruling.
