Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
According to the majority of scholars, khul' is valid if the woman forfeits her rights vis-à-vis the husband. These rights include the deferred dowry (mahr mu'akhkhar) and past expenses that the husband has not paid. This may also include the dowry that the woman has already received, which would require a court review to determine its exact meaning.
