Al-Khul* (Divorce for Payment)
Al-Kāfi|Volume 6|Book 2|Chapter 63
عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ لَا يَحِلُّ خُلْعُهَا حَتَّى تَقُولَ لِزَوْجِهَا وَ اللَّهِ لَا أُبِرُّ لَكَ قَسَماً وَ لَا أُطِيعُ لَكَ أَمْراً وَ لَا أَغْتَسِلُ لَكَ مِنْ جَنَابَةٍ وَ لَأُوطِئَنَّ فِرَاشَكَ وَ لآَذَنَنَّ عَلَيْكَ بِغَيْرِإِذْنِكَ وَ قَدْ كَانَ النَّاسُ يُرَخِّصُونَ فِيمَا دُونَ هَذَا فَإِذَا قَالَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ ذَلِكَ لِزَوْجِهَا حَلَّ لَهُ مَا أَخَذَ مِنْهَا فَكَانَتْ عِنْدَهُ عَلَى تَطْلِيقَتَيْنِ بَاقِيَتَيْنِ وَ كَانَ الْخُلْعُ تَطْلِيقَةًوَ قَالَ يَكُونُ الْكَلَامُ مِنْ عِنْدِهَا وَ قَالَ لَوْ كَانَ الْأَمْرُ إِلَيْنَا لَمْ نُجِزْ طَلَاقاً إِلَّا لِلْعِدَّةِ .
1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Hammad from al-Halabiy who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, has stated this Hadith. ‘Al-Khul‘ (divorce for payment) is not lawful until she says to her husband, “By Allah, I will not honor your turn, will not obey your order, will not take Ghusl (bath) for you because of sexual intercourse, will not sit on your furnishing and I will give permission without your permission.” People applied KhuV for less than that. The woman’s saying that to her husband makes it lawful for him to receive payment from her. She remains for him for two more divorces and al-Khul‘ is one divorce.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘The statements come from her.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Had the matter been in our hands we would not allow divorce except with waiting period.’”
