Given that we have already mentioned that the ruling of this expression is the same as that of an absolute condition.

Section: If he says to his wife: "You are divorced for one thousand [dirhams] if you wish," she is not divorced until she wishes. Once she wishes, the divorce takes place as an irrevocable divorce (ba'in), and he is entitled to the one thousand, regardless of whether she asked him for the divorce, saying: "Divorce me for one thousand," and he answered her, or if he said that to her initially. This is because he suspended her divorce upon a condition, and it did not exist before its occurrence. Her wish is considered through speech; for even though its place is the heart, what is in the heart is not known except by utterance, so the ruling is tied to it. This is deferred; whenever she wishes, she becomes divorced. Ahmad stated this explicitly. The school of Al-Shafi'i is the same, except that in his view, it is immediate. If he said to his wife: "Your affair is in your hand if you guarantee one thousand for me," the analogy of Ahmad's position is that it is deferred, because he explicitly stated that "your affair is in your hand" is deferred, and he explicitly stated that if he says to her: "You are divorced if you wish," she has the choice [to wish] even after her session. The school of Al-Shafi'i is that it is immediate, for the reasons mentioned previously. Our position is that if he had said to his slave: "If you guarantee one thousand for me, you are free," it would be deferred. And if he said to him: "You are free for one thousand if you wish," it would be deferred. Divorce is analogous to manumission (itq). According to this, whenever she guarantees one thousand for him, her affair is in her hand, and he has the right to revoke what he granted her, because "your affair is in your hand" is a delegation (tawkil) from him to her, so he may revoke it just as one revokes a power of attorney. Likewise, if he said to his wife: "Divorce yourself if you guarantee one thousand for me," then whenever she guarantees one thousand for him and divorces herself, it occurs, provided he has not revoked it. If she guarantees the thousand but does not divorce herself, or divorces herself but does not guarantee it, the divorce does not occur.

1240 - Issue: He said: "And if he khula' her for a slave, and it turns out to be free, or is claimed by another (mustahaq), he is entitled to its value from her."

The totality of this is that when a man khula's his wife for a compensation that he believes to be property, and it turns out not to be property, such as if...
