Is the verse permitting Khul' abrogated?
General Chapter
Al-Mughni
Book of Khul' (Redemption Divorce)
Primary text
The claim that Quran 2:229 (regarding Khul') is abrogated by Quran 4:20 ({Wa 'in turidu istibdala zawjin makana zawj}) is invalid. For abrogation to be established, proof of impossibility of reconciliation between the verses and the superseding verse being later in revelation must be proven, neither of which has been established.

Bakr ibn Abdullah al-Muzani opposed the permissibility of Khul', asserting that the verse concerning Khul' is abrogated by Quran 4:20.
