What is the ruling on accepting compensation for divorce when the wife dislikes her husband?
General Chapter
Al-Mughni
Book of Khul' (Redemption Divorce)
Primary text
The established ruling is that the husband must accept the compensation offered by the wife and subsequently grant her a divorce. In the case of the wife of Thabit ibn Qays, the Prophet commanded Thabit to "Accept the garden and divorce her with one pronouncement." This aligns with the practice of companions such as Umar, Uthman, and Ali, whose opinion was unchallenged in their time, suggesting consensus.
