O Prophet, when you divorce women, divorce them for their waiting-period,[1] and compute the waiting period accurately,[2] and hold Allah, your Lord, in awe. Do not turn them out of their homes (during the waiting period) – nor should they go away (from their homes)[3]– unless they have committed a manifestly evil deed.[4] Such are the bounds set by Allah; and he who transgresses the bounds set by Allah commits a wrong against himself. You do not know: maybe Allah will cause something to happen to pave the way (for reconciliation).[5]
2
And when they reach the end of their term (of waiting), then either honourably retain them (in the bond of wedlock) or honourably part with them,[1] and call two persons of known probity as witnesses from among yourselves,[2] and (let these witnesses) give upright testimony for the sake of Allah. That is to what all those that believe in Allah and the Last Day are exhorted.[3] Allah will find a way out for him who fears Allah,[4]

The waiting period of those of your women who have lost all expectation of menstruation shall be three months[1] in case you entertain any doubt; and the same shall apply to those who have not yet menstruated.[2] As for pregnant women, their waiting period shall be until the delivery of their burden.[3] Allah will create ease for him who fears Allah.

(During the waiting period) lodge them according to your means wherever you dwell, and do not harass them to make them miserable.[1] And if they are pregnant, provide for them maintenance until they have delivered their burden.[2] And if they suckle your offspring whom they bore you, then give them due recompense, and graciously settle the question of compensation between yourselves by mutual understanding.[3] But if you experience difficulty (in determining the compensation for suckling) then let another woman suckle the child.[4]

a Messenger[1] who rehearses to you Allah's verses that clearly expound the Guidance so that He may bring out those that believe and act righteously, from every kind of darkness into light.[2] He will admit whosoever believes in Allah and acts righteously to Gardens beneath which rivers flow. They shall abide in them forever. For such has Allah made an excellent provision.
