Translation of Verse 236-242

236. There is no blame if you divorce women before the marriage is consummated or the dowry is settled. But give them a ˹suitable˺ compensation-the rich according to his means and the poor according to his. A reasonable compensation is an obligation on the good-doers.

237. And if you divorce them before consummating the marriage but after deciding on a dowry, pay half of the dowry, unless the wife graciously waives it or the husband graciously pays in full. Graciousness is closer to righteousness. And do not forget kindness among yourselves. Surely Allah is All-Seeing of what you do.

238. Observe the ˹five obligatory˺ prayers-especially the middle prayer 101 -and stand in true devotion to Allah.

239. If you are in danger, pray on foot or while riding. But when you are safe, ˹take time to˺ remember Allah for teaching you what you did not know.

240. Those of you who die leaving widows should bequeath for them a year's maintenance without forcing them out. 102 But if they choose to leave, you are not accountable for what they reasonably decide for themselves. And Allah is Almighty, All-Wise.

241. Reasonable provisions must be made for divorced women-a duty on those mindful ˹of Allah˺.

242. This is how Allah makes His revelations clear to you, so perhaps you will understand.


Commentary

101. As mentioned in several authentic sayings of Prophet Muḥammad ( ﷺ ) , the middle prayer is the afternoon prayer, ' Aṣr .

102. This ruling was later replaced by the ruling in 2:234.
