Question:
The Shaykh's case. Does khul' require a judge's ruling, or is it permissible if the woman requests khul' to rely on a judge's ruling?
Answer:
It does not require a judge's ruling. If the woman divorces her husband and he agrees to it, it takes place; it takes place, meaning it is valid, because this is a right of the husband. If he permits it and accepts the compensation and dissolves his marriage to his wife, this is his right. It does not require a judge's ruling. Yes.
