Does a woman who has obtained a khul' (divorce at the wife's request for compensation) have a right to the deferred mahr (bridal gift)?

The questioner:
Yes. I heard a shaykh (scholar or teacher) say: The questioner asks, does a woman take her right from the deferred mahr or anything else if she is the one who requested the divorce from her husband?

The Shaykh:
Yes. Yes.

The questioner:
The questioner asks: Does a woman take her right from the deferred mahr or anything else if she is the one who requested the divorce from her husband?

The Shaykh:
If the husband and wife reconcile, or otherwise in the court. Matters of divorce, mahr, and disputes regarding them are handled by the courts. If they do not agree on the point of dispute, they return to the court. But if they reconcile, praise be to Allah. So, the divorce is in the hand of its owner, meaning, if the mahr is entirely or partially contingent upon the divorce, if he divorces her, he gives her her mahr. If there is a dispute, it returns to the sin.
