Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Is the 'iddah obligatory upon me or not? My husband divorced me with one pronouncement of divorce and took me back with words before the 'iddah ended, while I was with my family. I completed three menstrual cycles, and then a khul' took place before the judge. Is there another 'iddah upon me after the khul'?
Answer:
Yes, yes, you must resume the 'iddah, yes.
