وَإِن طَلَّقْتُمُوهُنَّ مِن قَبْلِ أَن تَمَسُّوهُنَّ وَقَدْ فَرَضْتُمْ لَهُنَّ فَرِيضَةً فَنِصْفُ مَا فَرَضْتُمْ إِلَّآ أَن يَعْفُونَ أَوْ يَعْفُوَا۟ ٱلَّذِى بِيَدِهِۦ عُقْدَةُ ٱلنِّكَاحِ ۚ وَأَن تَعْفُوٓا۟ أَقْرَبُ لِلتَّقْوَىٰ ۚ وَلَا تَنسَوُا۟ ٱلْفَضْلَ بَيْنَكُمْ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرٌ

TRANSLITERATION

Waʾin ṭallaqtumūhunna min qabli an tamassūhunna waqad faraḍtum lahunna farīḍatan faniṣfu mā faraḍtum illā ay yaʿfūna aw yaʿfuwal-ladhī biyadihī ʿuqdatun-nikāḥ, waʾan taʿfū aqrabu lit-taqwā, walā tansawul-faḍla baynakum, innallāha bimā taʿmalūna baṣīr

ENGLISH TRANSLATION · TALAL ITANI

If you divorce them before you have touched them, but after you had set the dowry for them, give them half of what you specified—unless they forgo the right, or the one in whose hand is the marriage contract forgoes it. But to forgo is nearer to piety. And do not forget generosity between one another. God is Seeing of everything you do.
