Question
My husband agrees to end the marriage by Khula'. In lieu of khula' he wants the return of the mehr (a krugerrand) and all the jewellery and other gifts he had given. Is this just?
Answer
For the purposes of effecting Khula, the demands of your husband besides the Mehr (the Kruger rand) are haraam. When a marriage is dissolved
CORRUPTION
Nowadays, the reason for so much corruption is that every person has appointed himself as a „mujtahid‟. Indeed the Salafus Saaliheen were truly men of profound wisdom. They had closed the door of ijtihaad. They understood the Deen better than us.
(Hadhrat Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanvi)
by Khula‟, then the husband may request only the return of the Mehr. Therefore all his other demands are baatil and zulm. He has no right to make such haraam demands. It is haraam for him to demand return of the gifts.
