The Divorce at the Wife's Request (Khul') of a Woman Under Legal Restraint and the Validity of the Author's Wording

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the author (may Allah have mercy on him) stated: "Issue: It is not valid to offer compensation except by one whose financial transactions are valid. Therefore, if a woman under legal restraint due to foolishness, travel, or insanity offers compensation, the khul' is not valid." The question ends here. Is this wording correct? If a woman under legal restraint due to foolishness or travel...

Answer:
She sought khul' because it is the woman who seeks khul'; she is the one who offers the compensation. She sought khul', not he. "She sought khul'" means the woman under legal restraint due to foolishness, insanity, or minority. Her khul' is not valid because she is not permitted to dispose of her property. Yes.
