Khul’a is an agreement between a man and his wife to separate for a sum of money the wife gives to the husband. If he doesn’t take money and agrees for separation without any financial compensation, this is divorce and its Iddah is 3 menstruations. The woman is considered a wife until she finishes these cycles. He has the right to get her back without her consent during this period.

Therefore, if he is taking his dowry back or any other financial compensation, this is Khul’a and you are not his wife anymore the moment he takes the money.

You can marry if you want after you finish one menstruation.

A few months ago my husband put some money in my personal bank account which he obtained from his business as a safe keep. His hot-temper has led me to ask “khula” from him and the proceedings for khula are still going on in courts. And in the court case he has alleged me of “taking away” his money. On the other hand my husband says that as to fulfill his duty towards providing me necessities of life he has asked me to use his money which is kept in my bank account as per my wish. But he ll provide me further only when that money is totally spent. I am very much confused.
