The ruling on a husband requesting an amount greater than the mahr in the case of khul'
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: If a woman dislikes her husband and asks for a divorce, and the husband demands from her an amount greater than what he paid, does he have the right to do so or not?
Answer:
Yes, there is nothing wrong with him requesting more than what he gave her, based on the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-Baqarah 2:229] regarding her who seeks to redeem herself. This is a general ruling, but the more desirable and better option for him is to limit himself to the amount he gave her and not increase beyond that. This is the best course. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good and bless you.
