لا جناح عليكم ان طلقتم النساء ما لم تمسوهن او تفرضوا لهن فريضة ومتعوهن على الموسع قدره وعلى المقتر قدره متاعا بالمعروف حقا على المحسنين

There is no blame on you If ye divorce women Before consummation Or the fixation of their dower; But bestow on them (A suitable gift), The wealthy According to his means, And the poor According to his means;— A gift of a reasonable amount Is due from those Who wish to do the right thing.
