1185B. Ibn 'Abbās narrated that the wife of Thābit bin Qais was granted a Khul' from her husband during the time of the Prophet ﷺ. So the Prophet ﷺ ordered her to observe an Iddah of a menstruation. (Hasan)
(Abū 'Eisā said:) This Hadīth is Hasan Gharib.
The people of knowledge differ over the 'Iddah for the woman who was granted a Khul'. Most of the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ and others said that the 'Iddah for the woman who was granted a Khul' is the 'Iddah of the divorced woman, [three menstruations]. This is the view of (Sufyān) Ath-Thawrī and the people of Al-Kūfah, and it is the view of Aḥmad and Ishāq.
Some of the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ and others said that the 'Iddah of the woman who was granted a Khul' is one menstruation. Ishāq said: "If someone followed this view, then it is a strong view."

Commentary
"Khul'" means putting off the clothes as it is said 'put off your shirt' or 'put off your shoes,' etc. In the Qur'an, man and wife have been mentioned as clothes for each other, so a wife's separation from her husband after giving his rights is like casting off the clothes.
