Without diacritics

وان طلقتموهن من قبل ان تمسوهن وقد فرضتم لهن فريضة فنصف ما فرضتم الا ان يعفون او يعفو الذي بيده عقدة النكاح وان تعفوا اقرب للتقوى ولا تنسوا الفضل بينكم ان الله بما تعملون بصير

And if ye divorce them Before consummation, But after the fixation Of a dower for them, Then the half of the dower (Is due to them), unless They remit it Or (the man's half) is remitted By him in whose hands Is the marriage tie; And the remission (Of the man's half) Is the nearest to righteousness. And do not forget Liberality between yourselves. For God sees well All that ye do.
