Book of Khulʿ
Its conditions are seven:
- It must be effected by a husband whose pronouncement of divorce is legally valid.¹
- It must be in return for compensation—even if the amount is unknown—provided by someone who may lawfully give it, whether an unrelated donor or the wife herself; however, if he wrongfully restrains her so that she is forced to seek khulʿ, it is not valid.
- It must take effect immediately, without being suspended or made conditional.
- The khulʿ² must not be directed toward the wife in her entirety.
- It must not serve as a ruse to cancel an oath of divorce.
- It must not be pronounced with the word “divorce,” but with the specific wording prescribed for khulʿ.
- The husband must not intend divorce by it.
When these conditions are met, the act is an irrevocable dissolution (fasakh) that does not diminish the husband’s remaining number of divorce pronouncements.
Its explicit formula requires no intention, namely: khalaʿtu and fasakhtu.
(1) Al-Iqnaʿ states: “This does not include the judge or the arbitrator appointed in a case of marital discord or similar situations where the judge has the authority to dissolve the marriage, for his declaration of talaq (divorce) or annulment is valid.” Al-Muntaha, however, says: “It is valid and binding when issued by anyone whose divorce takes legal effect,” a wording that is both clearer and more comprehensive. See Lubadi’s marginal notes, p. 317.
(2) The term khulʿ (divorce by mutual consent) is absent from manuscript M.

كتاب الخلع
وشروطه سبعة:
الأول: أن يقع من زوج يصح طلاقه١.
الثاني: أن يكون على عوض ولو مجهولا ممن يصح تبرعه من أجنبي وزوجة لكن لو عضلها ظلما لتختلع لم يصح.
الثالث: أن يقع منجزا.
الرابع: أن لا يقع الخلع٢ على جميع الزوجة.
الخامس: أن لا يقع حيلة لإسقاط يمين الطلاق.
السادس: أن لا يقع بلفظ الطلاق بل بصيغته الموضوعة له.
السابع: أن لا ينوي به الطلاق.
فمتى توفرت الشروط كان فسخا بائنا لا ينقض به عدد الطلاق.
وصيغته الصريحة لا تحتاج إلى نية وهي: خلعت وفسخت,
١ هكذا عبارة الإقناع وهي: لا تشمل الحاكم أو الحكم في الشقاق وغيره من المواضع التي يملك الحاكم فيها الفرقة فإنه يصح طلاقة وفسخه وعبارة المنتهى: "يصح ويلزم ممن يقع طلاقه فهي أوضح وأشمل. حاشية اللبدي "ص: ٣١٧"
٢ "الخلع" لا توجد في "م".
