And they request from you, [O Muhammad], a [legal] ruling concerning
women. Say, " Allah gives you a ruling about them and [about] what has
been recited to you in the Book concerning the orphan girls to whom you do
not give what is decreed for them - and [yet] you desire to marry them -
and concerning the oppressed among children and that you maintain for
orphans [their rights] in justice." And whatever you do of good - indeed,
Allah is ever Knowing of it.
And if a woman fears from her husband contempt or evasion, there is no sin
upon them if they make terms of settlement between them - and settlement
is best. And present in [human] souls is stinginess. But if you do good
and fear Allah - then indeed Allah is ever, with what you do, Acquainted.
And you will never be able to be equal [in feeling] between wives, even if
you should strive [to do so]. So do not incline completely [toward one]
and leave another hanging. And if you amend [your affairs] and fear Allah
- then indeed, Allah is ever Forgiving and Merciful.
And to Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the
earth. And We have instructed those who were given the Scripture before
you and yourselves to fear Allah . But if you disbelieve - then to Allah
belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And ever
is Allah Free of need and Praiseworthy.
