Primary text

Divorce (*Khul'*) conducted in exchange for an unknown, yet defined, quantity of something uniform, such as dinars or dirhams (e.g., exchanging for the dirhams currently in her possession), is valid. This aligns with the established rulings concerning tangible, measurable wealth where the specific amount is unknown but the unit is fixed.
