Muslim Law Of Marriage (Alimony, Iddah, Non-Muslim Spouse, Khula)
Thank you for your response. I have asked all questions on a theoretical plane therefore what I wanted to know is that in the case of khula, what would be the period of iddah (3 menstrual cycles or 1 menstrual cycle)? As far as I know, in a divorce like Talaq e Hasan, three menstrual cycles are required to be observed by the woman to determine ‘istibra i reham’. However, as far as my knowledge goes, Ibn Taymiyyah asserted that since khula is initiated by the wife and this the possibility of reconciliation is almost nil, only one menstrual cycle, just for the determination of pregnancy is sufficient. Kindly clarify the nature of debate.
