About us
Supporting You with Dignity, Faith & Compassion
At Islamic Divorce & Khula, we specialise in providing structured, faith-based guidance for Muslims in the UK and abroad seeking to end their marriage through Islamic divorce or Khula. Our organisation was established to serve individuals who wish to follow a Sharia-compliant process while being treated with empathy, respect, and confidentiality.
We understand that divorce is a deeply personal and emotional journey. Our goal is to offer support that upholds the values of mercy, justice, and understanding, values that are rooted in the teachings of the Holy Qur’an.
“But if they separate, Allah will enrich each [of them] from His abundance. And Allah is Ever-Encompassing and Wise.”
— Surah An-Nisa (4:130)
“Divorce is twice. Then, either keep [her] in an acceptable manner or release [her] with good treatment…”
— Surah Al-Baqarah (2:229)
These verses remind us that even in separation, there is dignity and divine care. Our services are built upon this foundational belief that every individual deserves compassionate support and a just resolution.
What is Khula?
A Faith-Based Pathway to Separation for Muslim Women
Khula (الخلع) is a Sharia-compliant process through which a Muslim woman can initiate a divorce from her husband dissolving the marital contract with the approval of an Islamic authority.
While divorce (Talaq) is traditionally initiated by the husband, Khula allows the woman to seek a lawful end to the marriage when reconciliation is no longer possible, and where continuing the relationship would cause harm or hardship.
Khula is established in the Qur’an and the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. One of the most referenced incidents involves the wife of Thabit ibn Qais (RA), who sought Khula due to her inability to live with him, even though she described him as a man with the ‘Best of Character and the Best of Iman’. The Prophet ﷺ accepted her request and instructed her to return the mahr.
This verse lays the foundation for Khula as a legitimate form of divorce when the wife seeks release from the marriage in exchange for compensation.

Panel Review
Your case is reviewed by a panel of qualified Islamic scholars. Based on your circumstances and Islamic legal guidelines, a decision is made.
Certificate Issued
If the panel grants approval, we issue you an official Khula Certificate, which can be used for religious and personal records. This is usually within 2-3 months of receiving the completed application form, fees and supporting documents.
If you have legal marriage registered in a country that does not follow Islamic law, you will need to make enquiries about how to end the marriage according to the laws of that country.
For example a legally registered marriage in England & Wales, would need to be ended by following the procedure in court, we can assist with this via YHM Solicitors.

FAQ
Your Questions Answered
We understand that going through an Islamic divorce or seeking Khula can raise many questions. Below are some of the most frequently asked questions to help guide you through the process with clarity and confidence.
Talaq is divorce initiated by the husband.
Khula is initiated by the wife, often involving the return of the mahr (dowry) or compensation, and is granted by a panel of Islamic scholars.
Both are recognised in Islam and handled through our structured, Sharia-compliant process.
If you are legally married, you must also obtain a civil divorce. Our Khula certificate does not dissolve a civil marriage. Many of our clients apply for both — we can guide you on how to align the two processes.
To end a civil marriage in England & Wales, we can assist you via YHM Solicitors
Khula: £350 (or £300 if you receive state benefits).
Talaq: £350 (or £300 if you receive state benefits).
If you wish to pay in instalments, please contact us for flexible payment options.
Typically 2–3 months from when we receive your completed application, supporting documents, and payment. This allows time for correspondence with the spouse and review by our scholars.
The Qur’an and Sunnah affirm Khula as a merciful option and Islam has given the right to a woman to apply for a no fault divorce, however, common reasons include…..
- Domestic violence or abuse.
- Emotional or psychological harm.
- Lack of compatibility or affection.
- Neglect or abandonment.
- Husband refusing Talaq.
- Fear of disobeying Allah due to ongoing harm.
- Infidelity, deception, or prolonged absence.
A written explanation of your circumstances is usually sufficient. Supporting evidence such as police or court documents can be submitted if available, we may also ask for a statement from a family member or friend to confirm what you have stated. This will be discussed on a case by case basis.
