La junaha AAalaykum in tallaqtumu alnnisaa ma lam tamassoohunna aw tafridoo lahunna fareedatan wamattiAAoohunna AAala almoosiAAi qadaruhu waAAala almuqtiri qadaruhu mataAAan bialmaAAroofi haqqan AAala almuhsineena\n236. There is no blame on you\n If ye divorce women\n Before consummation\n Or the fixation of their dower;\n But bestow on them\n (A suitable gift),\n The wealthy\n According to his means,\n And the poor\n According to his means;\u2014\nA gift of a reasonable amount\n Is due from those\n Who wish to do the right thing.\n237. Wa-in tallaqtumoohunna min qabli an tamassoohunna waqad faradtum lahunna fareedatan fanisfu ma faradtum illa an yaAAfoona aw yaAAfuwa allathee biyadihi AAuqdatu alnnikahi waan taAAfoo aqrabu lilttaqwa wala tansawoo alfadla baynakum inna Allaha bima taAAmaloona baseerun\n237. And if ye divorce them\n Before consummation,\n But after the fixation\n Of a dower for them,\n Then the half of the dower\n (Is due to them), unless\n They remit it\n Or (the man's half) is remitted\n By him in whose hands\n Is the marriage tie;\n And the remission\n (Of the man's half)\n Is the nearest to righteousness.\n And do not forget\n Liberality between yourselves.\n For God sees well\n All that ye do.\n238. Hafithoo AAala alssalawati waalssalati alwusta waqoomoo lillahi qaniteena\n238. Guard strictly\n Your (habit of) prayers,\n Especially the Middle Prayer;\n And stand before God\n In a devout (frame of mind).\n239. Fa-in khiftum farijalan aw rukbanan fa-itha amintum faothkuroo Allaha kama AAallamakum ma lam takoonoo taAAlamoona\n239. If ye fear (an enemy),\n Pray on foot, or riding,\n (As may be most convenient),\n But when ye are\n In security, celebrate\n God's praises in the manner\n He has taught you,\n Which ye knew not (before).\n240. Waallatheena yutawaffawna minkum wayatharoona azwajan wasiyyatan li-azwajihim mataAAan ila alhawli ghayra ikhrajin fa-in kharajna fala junaha AAalaykum fee ma faAAalna fee anfusihinna min maAAroofin waAllahu AAazeezun hakeemun\n240. Those of you\n Who die and leave widows\n Should bequeath\n For their widows\n A year's maintenance\n And residence;\n But if they leave\n (The residence),\n There is no blame on you\n For what they do\n With themselves,\n Provided it is reasonable.\n And God is Exalted in Power, Wise.\n241. Walilmutallaqati mataAAun bialmaAAroofi haqqan AAala almuttaqeena\n241. For divorced women\n Maintenance (should be provided)\n On a reasonable (scale).\n This is a duty\n On the righteous.\n242. Kathalika yubayyinu Allahu lakum ayatihi laAAallakum taAAqiloona\n242. Thus doth God\n Make clear His Signs\n To you: in order that\n Ye may understand.","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra II.: Baqara, or the Heifer.: Section 31 (236-242)","type":"page"}
