وَالَّذٖینَ یُتَوَفَّوْنَ مِنْكُمْ وَیَذَرُونَ اَزْواٰجًا یَتَرَبَّصْنَ بِاَنْفُسِهِنَّ اَرْبَعَةَ اَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرًاۖ فَاِذاٰ بَلَغْنَ اَجَلَهُنَّ فَلاٰ جُناٰحَ عَلَیْكُمْ فٖیماٰ فَعَلْنَ فٖیٓ اَنْفُسِهِنَّ بِالْمَعْرُوفِۗ وَاللّٰهُ بِماٰ تَعْمَلُونَ خَبٖیرٌ۝٢٣٤۝وَلاٰ جُناٰحَ عَلَیْكُمْ فٖیماٰ عَرَّضْتُمْ بِهٖ مِنْ خِطْبَةِ النِّسآٰءِ اَوْ اَكْنَنْتُمْ فٖیٓ اَنْفُسِكُمْۚ عَلِمَ اللّٰهُ اَنَّكُمْ سَتَذْكُرُونَهُنَّ وَلٰكِنْ لاٰ تُواٰعِدُوهُنَّ سِرًّا اِلّآٰ اَنْ تَقُولُوا قَوْلًا مَعْرُوفًاۚ وَلاٰ تَعْزِمُوا عُقْدَةَ النِّكاٰحِ حَتّٰی یَبْلُغَ الْكِتاٰبُ اَجَلَهُۥۚ وَاعْلَمُوٓا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ یَعْلَمُ ماٰ فٖیٓ اَنْفُسِكُمْ فَاحْذَرُوهُۚ وَاعْلَمُوٓا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُورٌ حَلٖیمٌ۝٢٣٥۝لاٰ جُناٰحَ عَلَیْكُمْ اِنْ طَلَّقْتُمُ النِّسآٰءَ ماٰ لَمْ تَمَسُّوهُنَّ اَوْ تَفْرِضُوا لَهُنَّ فَرٖیضَةًۚ وَمَتِّعُوهُنَّ عَلَی الْمُوسِعِ قَدَرُهُۥ وَعَلَی الْمُقْتِرِ قَدَرُهُۥ مَتاٰعًا بِالْمَعْرُوفِۖ حَقًّا عَلَی الْمُحْسِنٖینَ۝٢٣٦۝وَاِنْ طَلَّقْتُمُوهُنَّ مِنْ قَبْلِ اَنْ تَمَسُّوهُنَّ وَقَدْ فَرَضْتُمْ لَهُنَّ فَرٖیضَةً فَنِصْفُ ماٰ فَرَضْتُمْ اِلّآٰ اَنْ یَعْفُونَ اَوْ یَعْفُوَا الَّذٖی بِیَدِهٖ عُقْدَةُ النِّكاٰحِۚ وَاَنْ تَعْفُوٓا اَقْرَبُ لِلتَّقْوٰیۚ وَلاٰ تَنْسَوُا الْفَضْلَ بَیْنَكُمْۚ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ بِماٰ تَعْمَلُونَ بَصٖیرٌ۝٢٣٧۝

As for those of you who die leaving wives, they shall wait by themselves four months and ten days, and when they complete their term, there will be no sin upon you in respect of what they may do with themselves in accordance with honourable norms. And Allah is well aware of what you do. ﴾234﴿There is no sin upon you in what you may hint in proposing to [recently widowed] women, or what you may secretly cherish within your hearts. Allah knows that you will be thinking of them, but do not make troth with them secretly, unless you say honourable words, and do not resolve on a marriage tie until the prescribed term is complete. Know that Allah knows what is in your hearts, so beware of Him; and know that Allah is all-forgiving, all-forbearing. ﴾235﴿There is no sin upon you if you divorce women while you have not yet touched them or settled a dowry for them. Yet provide for them—the well-off according to his capacity, and the poorly-off according to his capacity—with a sustenance that is honourable, an obligation on the virtuous. ﴾236﴿And if you divorce them before you touch them, and you have already settled a dowry for them, then [pay them] half of what you have settled, unless they forgo it, or someone in whose hand is the marriage tie forgoes it. And to forgo is nearer to Godwariness; so do not forget graciousness among yourselves. Indeed Allah watches what you do. ﴾237﴿
