وَ لِلرَّجُلِ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ مِنَ الْمُخْتَلِعَةِ فَوْقَ الصَّدَاقِ الَّذِي أَعْطَاهَا لِقَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَإِنْ خِفْتُمْ أَلَّا يُقِيما حُدُودَ اللَّهِ فَلا جُناحَ عَلَيْهِما فِيمَا افْتَدَتْ بِهِ وَ الْمُبَارَأَةُ لَا يُؤْخَذُ مِنْهَا إِلَّا دُونَ الصَّدَاقِ الَّذِي أَعْطَاهَا لِأَنَّ الْمُخْتَلِعَةَ تَعْتَدِي فِي الْكَلَامِ.
A man is allowed to take from a woman who undergoes khulʿ more than the dowry he gave her, based on the saying of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Mighty and Majestic: "If you fear that they will not uphold the limits of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, then there is no blame upon them for what she gives to secure her release" (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:229). However, in the case of mubara'ah (mutual separation), he may only take less than the dowry he gave her, because the woman seeking khulʿ exceeds limits in her speech, unlike in mubara'ah.
