Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, does khul' take place without the ruler or the judge, or is its status like that of talaq (divorce pronounced by the husband)?
Answer:
There is no doubt that the judge and the ruler are more precise; they review the matter to ensure its accuracy and proper formation. However, if it takes place without the involvement of the ruler or the judge, provided it meets the conditions, it is valid; their khul' is valid.
