I don’t know what is the hadeeth regarding Khul’u which she had heard.

As for her case, if she requested divorce and he gave her divorce without any financial compensation, this is divorce and not khul’u.

But if the divorce was conditional and he demanded any form of payment, this is Khul’u.

A sister asked her husband for a divorce, but told him to give her a talaq because she feared requesting a khul’ah due to ahadith about it. He agreed. Someone told her that this still counts as a khul’ah, what do you say? She wanted out, asked for a divorce, and he gave it to her.
