Is what the brother did by giving the girl money for the khulʿ correct? Is the girl sinful for abandoning the niqāb after wearing it, not being convinced of its obligation? Is it permissible for the brother to be her guardian and for her to be obliged to obey him after her father entrusted him with her? Was the khulʿ valid with the husband's refusal and her consent and her father's consent? If it is permissible for her to live with them, what are the sharʿī limits between her and the brother, and between the sister and her brother? Is it permissible for them to eat at one table, watch television, and go on trips together?

It is permissible for a woman to seek a khul‘ (divorce initiated by the wife) if her husband abuses her and beats her severely, and her brother may assist her in this. The principle of khul‘ is that it should be by the mutual consent of the spouses, but if the wife is harmed and the husband refuses, the judge may rule for khul‘. If a woman uncovers her face believing it is not obligatory, following scholars who hold this view, then there is no sin upon her. Her brother has no guardianship over her, and obedience to him is not obligatory as it is to a father. It is not permissible for a woman to live with her brother in a shared residence with common facilities. If she has a separate dwelling, she must avoid khalwa (private seclusion) and suspicious mixing with her brother, lower her gaze, and avoid unnecessary conversation. She should not sit with him for meals, watch television, or go out for recreation. She should be brought under the care of her father or live with her mahrams (unmarriageable kin).
