Arabic text

2055 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْأَزْهَرِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ، عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي أَسْمَاءَ، عَنْ ثَوْبَانَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَيُّمَا امْرَأَةٍ سَأَلَتْ زَوْجَهَا الطَّلَاقَ فِي غَيْرِ مَا بَأْسٍ، فَحَرَامٌ عَلَيْهَا رَائِحَةُ الْجَنَّةِ» بَابُ الْمُخْتَلِعَةِ تَأْخُذُ مَا أَعْطَاهَا

Commentary

a. Khul' means that a woman returns all or some of the dowry to her husband to get an annulment of the marriage. A husband is not allowed to demand all what he has spent on her, or to demand more than the fixed dowry. b. Khul' is legal if a woman does not want to live with her husband while the husband wants to live with her. If a person deliberately troubles his wife in order to force her to eventually demand a Khul', then the husband is guilty of oppression.
