سُورَةُ النِّسآٰءِالمدنية176بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحٖیمِیآٰ اَیُّهَا النّاٰسُ اتَّقُوا رَبَّكُمُ الَّذٖی خَلَقَكُمْ مِنْ نَفْسٍ واٰحِدَةٍ وَخَلَقَ مِنْهاٰ زَوْجَهاٰ وَبَثَّ مِنْهُماٰ رِجاٰلًا كَثٖیرًا وَنِسآٰءًۚ وَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ الَّذٖی تَسآٰءَلُونَ بِهٖ وَالْاَرْحاٰمَۚ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ كاٰنَ عَلَیْكُمْ رَقٖیبًا۝١۝وَءاٰتُوا الْیَتاٰمٰٓی اَمْواٰلَهُمْۖ وَلاٰ تَتَبَدَّلُوا الْخَبٖیثَ بِالطَّیِّبِۖ وَلاٰ تَأْكُلُوٓا اَمْواٰلَهُمْ اِلٰٓی اَمْواٰلِكُمْۚ اِنَّهُۥ كاٰنَ حُوبًا كَبٖیرًا۝٢۝وَاِنْ خِفْتُمْ اَلّاٰ تُقْسِطُوا فِی الْیَتاٰمٰی فَانْكِحُوا ماٰ طاٰبَ لَكُمْ مِنَ النِّسآٰءِ مَثْنٰی وَثُلاٰثَ وَرُباٰعَۖ فَاِنْ خِفْتُمْ اَلّاٰ تَعْدِلُوا فَواٰحِدَةً اَوْ ماٰ مَلَكَتْ اَیْماٰنُكُمْۚ ذٰلِكَ اَدْنٰٓی اَلّاٰ تَعُولُوا۝٣۝وَءاٰتُوا النِّسآٰءَ صَدُقاٰتِهِنَّ نِحْلَةًۚ فَاِنْ طِبْنَ لَكُمْ عَنْ شَیْءٍ مِنْهُ نَفْسًا فَكُلُوهُ هَنٖیٓئًا مَرٖیٓئًا۝٤۝وَلاٰ تُؤْتُوا السُّفَهآٰءَ اَمْواٰلَكُمُ الَّتٖی جَعَلَ اللّٰهُ لَكُمْ قِیاٰمًا وَارْزُقُوهُمْ فٖیهاٰ وَاكْسُوهُمْ وَقُولُوا لَهُمْ قَوْلًا مَعْرُوفًا۝٥۝وَابْتَلُوا الْیَتاٰمٰی حَتّٰٓی اِذاٰ بَلَغُوا النِّكاٰحَ فَاِنْ ءاٰنَسْتُمْ مِنْهُمْ رُشْدًا فَادْفَعُوٓا اِلَیْهِمْ اَمْواٰلَهُمْۖ وَلاٰ تَأْكُلُوهآٰ اِسْراٰفًا وَبِداٰرًا اَنْ یَكْبَرُواۚ وَمَنْ كاٰنَ غَنِیًّا فَلْیَسْتَعْفِفْۖ وَمَنْ كاٰنَ فَقٖیرًا فَلْیَأْكُلْ بِالْمَعْرُوفِۚ فَاِذاٰ دَفَعْتُمْ اِلَیْهِمْ اَمْواٰلَهُمْ فَاَشْهِدُوا عَلَیْهِمْۚ وَكَفٰی بِاللّٰهِ حَسٖیبًا۝٦۝لِلرِّجاٰلِ نَصٖیبٌ مِمّاٰ تَرَكَ الْواٰلِداٰنِ وَالْاَقْرَبُونَ وَلِلنِّسآٰءِ نَصٖیبٌ مِمّاٰ تَرَكَ الْواٰلِداٰنِ وَالْاَقْرَبُونَ مِمّاٰ قَلَّ مِنْهُ اَوْ كَثُرَۚ نَصٖیبًا مَفْرُوضًا۝٧۝وَاِذاٰ حَضَرَ الْقِسْمَةَ اُولُوا الْقُرْبٰی وَالْیَتاٰمٰی وَالْمَساٰكٖینُ فَارْزُقُوهُمْ مِنْهُ وَقُولُوا لَهُمْ قَوْلًا مَعْرُوفًا۝٨۝وَلْیَخْشَ الَّذٖینَ لَوْ تَرَكُوا مِنْ خَلْفِهِمْ ذُرِّیَّةً ضِعاٰفًا خاٰفُوا عَلَیْهِمْ فَلْیَتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ وَلْیَقُولُوا قَوْلًا سَدٖیدًا۝٩۝اِنَّ الَّذٖینَ یَأْكُلُونَ اَمْواٰلَ الْیَتاٰمٰی ظُلْمًا اِنَّماٰ یَأْكُلُونَ فٖی بُطُونِهِمْ ناٰرًاۖ وَسَیَصْلَوْنَ سَعٖیرًا۝١٠۝یُوصٖیكُمُ اللّٰهُ فٖیٓ اَوْلاٰدِكُمْۖ لِلذَّكَرِ مِثْلُ حَظِّ الْاُنْثَیَیْنِۚ فَاِنْ كُنَّ نِسآٰءً فَوْقَ اثْنَتَیْنِ فَلَهُنَّ ثُلُثاٰ ماٰ تَرَكَۖ وَاِنْ كاٰنَتْ

Surah An-NisaMadineh176In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful. O mankind! Be wary of your Lord who created you from a single soul, and created its mate from it, and from the two of them scattered numerous men and women. Be wary of Allah, in whose Name you adjure one another and [of severing ties with] blood relations. Indeed Allah is watchful over you. ﴾1﴿Give the orphans their property, and do not replace the good with the bad, and do not eat up their property [by mingling it] with your own property, for that is indeed a great sin. ﴾2﴿If you fear that you may not deal justly with the orphans, then marry [other] women that you like, two, three, or four. But if you fear that you may not treat them fairly, then [marry only] one, or [marry from among] your slave-women. That makes it likelier that you will not be unfair. ﴾3﴿Give women their dowries, handing it over to them; but if they remit anything of it of their own accord, then consume it as [something] lawful and wholesome. ﴾4﴿Do not give the feeble-minded your property, which Allah has assigned you to manage: provide for them out of it and clothe them, and speak to them honourable words. ﴾5﴿Test the orphans when they reach the age of marriage. Then if you discern in them maturity, deliver to them their property. And do not consume it lavishly and hastily lest they should grow up. As for him who is well-off, let him be abstemious, and as for him who is poor, let him eat in an honourable manner. And when you deliver to them their property, take witnesses over them, and Allah suffices as reckoner. ﴾6﴿Men have a share in the heritage left by parents and near relatives, and women have a share in the heritage left by parents and near relatives, whether it be little or much, a share ordained [by Allah]. ﴾7﴿And when the division is attended by relatives, the orphans and the needy, provide for them out of it, and speak to them honourable words. ﴾8﴿Let those fear [the result of mistreating orphans] who, were they to leave behind weak offspring, would be concerned on their account. So let them be wary of Allah, and let them speak upright words. ﴾9﴿Indeed those who consume the property of orphans wrongfully, only ingest fire into their bellies, and soon they will enter the Blaze. ﴾10﴿Allah enjoins you concerning your children: for the male shall be the like of the share of two females, and if there be [two or] more than two females, then for them shall be two-thirds of what he leaves; but if she be alone, then for her shall be a half; and for each of his parents a sixth of what he leaves, if he has children; but if he has no children, and his parents are his [sole] heirs, then it shall be a third for his mother; but if he has brothers, then a sixth for his mother, after [paying off] any bequest he may have made or any debt [he may have incurred]. Your parents and your children—you do not know which of them is likelier to be beneficial for you. This is an ordinance from Allah. Indeed Allah is all-knowing, all-wise. ﴾11﴿For you shall be a half of what your wives leave, if they have no children; but if they have children, then for you shall be a fourth of what they leave, after [paying off] any bequest they may have made or any debt [they may have incurred]. And for them [it shall be] a fourth of what you leave, if you have no children; but if you have children, then for them shall be an eighth of what you leave, after [paying off] any bequest you may have made or any debt [you may have incurred]. If a man or woman is inherited by siblings and has a brother or a sister, then each of them shall receive a sixth; but if they are more than that, then they shall share in one third, after [paying off] any bequest he may have made or any debt [he may have incurred] without prejudice. [This is] an enjoinment from Allah, and Allah is all-knowing, all-forbearing. ﴾12﴿These are Allah’s bounds, and whoever obeys Allah and His Apostle, He shall admit him to gardens with streams running in them, to remain in them [forever]. That is the great success. ﴾13﴿But whoever disobeys Allah and His Apostle and transgresses the bounds set by Allah, He shall make him enter a Fire, to remain in it [forever], and there will be a humiliating punishment for him. ﴾14﴿Should any of your women commit an indecent act, produce against them four witnesses from yourselves, and if they testify, detain them in [their] houses until death finishes them, or Allah decrees a course for them. ﴾15﴿Should two among you commit it, chastise them both; but if they repent and reform, let them alone. Indeed Allah is all-clement, all-merciful. ﴾16﴿[Acceptance of] repentance by Allah is only for those who commit evil out of ignorance and then repent promptly. It is such whose repentance Allah will accept, and Allah is all-knowing, all-wise. ﴾17﴿But [acceptance of] repentance is not for those who go on committing misdeeds: when death approaches any of them, he says, ‘I repent now.’ Nor is it for those who die while they are faithless. For such We have prepared a painful punishment. ﴾18﴿O you who have faith! It is not lawful for you to inherit women forcibly, and do not press them to take away part of what you have given them, unless they commit a gross indecency. Consort with them in an honourable manner; and should you dislike them, maybe you dislike something while Allah invests it with an abundant good. ﴾19﴿If you desire to take a wife in place of another, and you have given one of them a quintal [of gold], do not take anything away from it. Would you take it by way of calumny and flagrant sin?! ﴾20﴿How could you take it back, when you have known each other, and they have taken from you a solemn covenant? ﴾21﴿Do not marry any of the women whom your fathers had married, excluding what is already past. That is indeed an indecency, an outrage and an evil course. ﴾22﴿Forbidden to you are your mothers, your daughters and your sisters, your paternal aunts and your maternal aunts, your brother’s daughters and your sister’s daughters, your [foster-]mothers who have suckled you and your sisters through fosterage, your wives’ mothers, and your stepdaughters who are under your care [born] of the wives whom you have gone into—but if you have not gone into them there is no sin upon you—and the wives of your sons who are from your own loins, and that you should marry two sisters at one time—excluding what is already past; indeed Allah is all-forgiving, all-merciful— ﴾23﴿
