Summary
The Perlis State Fatwa Committee decided by majority that dissolution of marriage through khuluk is treated as fasakh. It therefore does not count towards the number of talaq previously pronounced by the husband, if any. The wife only needs to observe an iddah of one menstrual cycle.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Pembubaran perkahwinan melalui kaedah khuluk adalah dihukum sebagai fasakh.
