The answer

The khul' (divorce by mutual consent) occurred validly, and your wife is irrevocably divorced from you. You do not have the right to take her back except through a new marriage contract. Your subsequent pronouncement of divorce upon her after the khul' is null and void and does not take effect, because a woman who has undergone khul' cannot be divorced again [by the former husband]. Such matters should be presented to the court or to trustworthy scholars. It is not permissible for a wife to leave her home without her husband's permission. Inciting a wife against her husband is a major sin and a great evil. No one is permitted to issue fatwas (religious edicts) to people without knowledge.
