The Ruling on Taking Back a Wife After the Waiting Period for Khul' Has Ended

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: If a woman requests khul' (divorce at the wife's request for compensation) from her husband and it is carried out, and she waits out the waiting period, and then after the waiting period ends, if he wants to take her back, is he allowed to do so without a new contract?

Answer:
No, if the waiting period has ended, he cannot take her back except with a new contract, because the marriage has been dissolved from him. She has exited his protection with the end of the waiting period. So if he wants to take her back, and the divorce has not completed—meaning the divorce has not reached three revocable divorces—he cannot take her back except with a new contract. Yes.
