The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is khul' among Muslims such that they return to them what they spent on their Muslim wives if they request khul'?
The Shaykh:
No, we did not request khul'. If they come as Muslims, it is not permissible to return them to the disbelievers. Let the khul' be done, let the khul' be done. What is meant is that we request the khul', and the khul' is actually done, and their marriage is actually dissolved without a demand.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh, and this...
The Shaykh:
Khul' automatically, automatically, meaning without any action. Yes.
