Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammadis His slave and Messenger.
There are some considerations in this case that make us unable to give you a definite answer about it. That is because this case has been taken to the judge, and the Muslim judge is more proper to study such cases.
In addition to this, you mentioned that Khul’ was given in your absence and that the request of your attorney to adjourn the case due to your sickness was not accepted. Also, you mentioned that the judge gave you a chance for reconciliation but at the same time he gave your wife Khul’. Hence, it appears that there are some contradictions.
Therefore, we are going to give some general answers.
1- It is not permissible for a wife to go out of her husband’s home without his permission except in case of necessity, otherwise she is considered a disobedient wife. The Sharee’ah clarified the methods to follow in treating a disobedient wife and this is discussed in Fataawa 91788and 85402.
2- It is not lawful for a wife to ask for Khul’ without a sound reason. It is confirmed that the Prophetsaid: “The wives who ask for Khul’ are the hypocrites.” ]Ahmad and Abu Daawood[
3- It is not permissible for the family of the wife to urge their daughter to ask her husband for Khul’; rather, they should endeavor to reconcile between them as much as possible. On the other hand, it is not permissible to accuse the family of the wife of having done magic to their daughter except with evidence.
In any case, we advise you to try as much as possible to reconcile because reconciliation is good. In this regard, you may seek the help of some righteous people who may influence the family of your wife as Allaah may facilitate reconciliation thanks to them. If reconciliation takes place, then praise be to Allaah, otherwise it is better to divorce her. It is also permissible for you to ask for compensation in return for divorcing her if you are not the reason for her asking for Khul’.
