Motivated by recent theoretical [1] and experimental [2] studies, we discuss selected aspects of the spin Hall effect in ferromagnets. We focus on cases with fixed directions of the applied electric field and of the induced electron current, and investigate the spin polarization of the latter as a function of the direction of magnetization of the ferromagnet. Based on a group-theoretical analysis [3] and on computations for a 2D tight-binding model [1] and for bulk ordered and disordered iron-based systems, we examine the range of validity of a simple formula suggested by Amin et al. [1]. We find that this formula does not contain terms odd with respect to time reversal, which are of various importance in the studied systems.
