Divorce . Woman . Court . Law . Shi'a . Khula

I was told by someone that the concept of Khul' does not exist in Shi'a Islam. The woman cannot obtain divorce and the divorces of Shi'a women who have gotten Khul' through court, in Islamic states, are invalid. Is this true?

There are many types of Talaq in Islam of Ahlul Bayt (AS) including Khul'i Talaq.but the concept of Khul' is different between the Islamic rules and general public. Many people think that Khul' is divorce enforced with out any consent of approval of the husband. This is not the real meaning of Khul' in Islamic rules. Khul' is a type of divorce when the wife does not like to continue with her husband and offer him any amount to make him give her divorce. When agrees and takes from her what agreed upon for the Talaq, that Talaq is called Khul'i.

If the husband is doing injustice in his wife and not agreeing to divorce her, she can refer her case to the Islamic authority (Marje' of Taqleed) who takes three steps: 1. Ordering the husband to give his wife all her rights with out any injustice. If husband refuse then 2. Order the husband to give divorce to his wife. If refuses again then 3. The Marje' ' himself give Talaq to this woman to release her from injustice.

Woman . Sexual . Transgender

I am interested in converting to Islam but I am intersex with both male and female traits, mostly female. I am unsure of how to start and what actions to take. Should I pray, dress, and fulfill roles as a woman?

1. To be a Muslim, you must believe that; there is no God but Allah, and Muhammad is His messenger.

2. Muslims must obey Allah’s orders and leave sinful acts. Sinful sexual relationships must be stopped immediately in your life.

3. If you were as a born female or born as a male, you must dress and behave accordingly.

Bismihi ta'ala

No, she cannot marry that man at all, and under any circumstance.

Of course, there is a slight difference of opinion among our esteemed jurists, so it is best for her to also confirm the fatwa of her Marja' taqleed.

Iddah . Woman . Khula . Marriage

Is it necessary for a woman to observe iddah after obtaining Khula'a if there was no intercourse during the three years of marriage?

If the marriage was never consummated and no sexual inter course happened at all, then no Iddah will be required after the divorce or Khul’a. If marriage was consummated and sexual intercourse took place between husband and his wife even one time, then Iddah will be compulsory even if they did not have intercourse for years before divorce.

Habit . Woman . Lady Khadija

Is it reasonable to justify mistreatment and hostility towards the achievements of Muslim women, by claiming that highlighting Bibi Khadijah's status as a working woman misguides others?

Amina Inloes, Amina Inloes is originally from the US and has a PhD in Islamic Studies from the University of Exeter on Shi'a hadith. She is the program leader for the MA Islamic Studies program at the... Answered 1 anno fa

Saying that Bibi Khadijah was a working woman is not misguidance, it is a fact, and it is not misguided to speak a fact about those who were close to the Prophet (S).

However, although Bibi Khadijah was quite empowered, both financially and socially, simply saying this does not compensate for social injustice, including towards women. Rather, it is important to be honest about what goes on in the real world, and if something is not as it should be in society, attention should be called to that so that it can be changed. Of course, one can look to Bibi Khadijah or others as inspirations when doing that, and speak about both.

Habit . Woman . Lady Khadija

Is it reasonable to justify mistreatment and hostility towards the achievements of Muslim women, by claiming that highlighting Bibi Khadijah's status as a working woman misguides others?

The claims of our enemies about mistreatment of women in Islam is nothing but a false propaganda. Evidence for the high status and full rights of women in Islam can be easily taken from the life of our great ladies like Lady Khadija (SA) and Lady Fatima (SA) and Lady Zainab (AS).

Transgender . Hijab . Muslims . Masjid . Woman . Employment . Da'wah

Am I allowed to go to the Masjid and mix with natural women as a transgender person who wears Hijab?

If your genetic gender was female (XX) then you are a female. If your genetic gender was male (XY) then you are a male even if you have gone through surgeries to look like a female. If your genetic gender is male (XY), you should avoid looking at females without Hijab because you are a male.

Ahlul Bayt (AS) are the best example for Muslims to follow but not every Muslims can be exactly like Ahlul Bayt (AS). Ahlul Bayt ladies did leave their houses for serving Islam in many occasions like Karbala.
