The Waiting Period After Khul'

Question:
My husband proposed to me seven years ago, then he denied it, and I filed a case of khul' in the court and was divorced. During those seven years, I was in my father's house. So, is it obligatory for me to observe the waiting period after the khul', and what is the apostasy?

Answer:
Yes, the waiting period is obligatory for separation, whether the separation is by khul', by divorce, or by death. So the waiting period is for the separation between the two spouses, whether by divorce, by khul', by death, or otherwise. From the time the khul' occurs, when the judge issues the ruling of khul', the waiting period begins, the waiting period of divorce. Yes.
