Is a divorce for compensation during menstruation subject to the same ruling as a revocable divorce during menstruation, according to the madhhab of Ibn Taymiyyah? And is there an opinion that states that an irrevocable divorce during menstruation does not take effect? And if so, is it permissible to adopt it?

Divorce for compensation is a type of khulʿ (a woman seeking divorce by giving compensation), and most scholars have permitted khulʿ during menstruation because it is not a divorce but rather an irrevocable separation, as Ibn Taymiyyah indicated. Divorce for compensation is not inherently among the disapproved types of divorce; therefore, it is permissible during menstruation, unlike (regular) divorce. A layperson should act upon the (religious ruling) of a scholar whom they trust.
