Dr. Kamal Omar
Such a divorce is permissible twice: after that either a permanent stay together, or a separation with kindness. And it is not lawful to you that you may retain anything out of what you have given to these women (any time in married life) except when a (particular) pair apprehends that the pair can not honour the conditions ordained by Allah (as the requirements of a married life). Then if you feared that these two would not abide by the ordainments of Allah, then there is no sin on (either of) these two in what she (i.e., the wife) paid to him (i.e., the husband) as ransom to this (pronouncement of divorce by husband against his will, only on wife’s initiative).

These are the bounds set by Allah; therefore do not violate them, for those who violate the bounds of AIIah are the tansgressors

Controversial, deprecated, or status undetermined works
A man may divorce [and re-marry his wife] only twice. Let your divorced woman to live in the same house with honor or let her leave, if she wishes. It is against the Lord’s law for husband to take back what he has already given to his ex-wife unless the woman wants to buy her freedom back by offering what her husband has offered her [the man then looses the right to take her back as she has bought back her freedom.] These are the laws of your Lord; do not take them lightly. Then one who disregards the law of his Lord is an unjust person

Ahmed Raza Khan (Barelvi)
This divorce is for two times only; then is to retain with good or to release with kindness, and it is not allowed to you to take back something of what you have given to the women, but if both fear that they could not keep the limits of Allah.

Then if you fear that they would not be able to keep the limits ordained by Allah, then there is no sin on either of them if she gives back (the Mahr or a part of it) for her Al-Khul (divorce).

It is not lawful for you [a husband] to take back any gifts except when both [husband and wife] fear that they would be unable to keep the limits set by Allah. If you do fear they would be unable to keep the limits set by Allah, no sin is on them if she gives something [ie, return a gift] for her freedom [from marriage]. These are limits set by Allah. Do not transgress them. If any do transgress the limits set by Allah, they are wrong.
Divorce is twice. After this it can either be resumed or permanently released free. It is not lawful for you to take back anything you have given your wives (due to divorce).

These are the boundaries set by Allah so do not transgress them. Whoever transgresses the limits will only do wrong to themself.
