They are not lawful (wives) For the Unbelievers, nor are The (Unbelievers) lawful (husbands) For them. But pay The Unbelievers what they Have spent (on their dower). And there will be no blame On you if ye marry them On payment of their dower To them. But hold not To the guardianship of Unbelieving women: ask For what ye have spent On their dowers, and let The (Unbelievers) ask for What they have spent (On the dowers of women Who come over to you).
