when you have divorced women and they have reached the end of their waiting period either keep them in kindness or let them go with kindness. but you shall not keep them being harmful in order to transgress. whoever does this wrongs himself. do not take the verses of allah in mockery. remember the favor of allah upon you and what he sent down to you from the book and wisdom to exhort you. fear allah and know that he has knowledge of everything.
وإذا طلقتم النساء فبلغن أجلهن فأمسكوهن بمعروف أو سرحوهن بمعروف ولا تمسكوهن ضرارا لتعتدوا ومن يفعل ذلك فقد ظلم نفسه ولا تتخذوا آيات الله هزوا واذكروا نعمت الله عليكم وما أنزل عليكم من الكتاب والحكمة يعظكم به واتقوا الله واعلموا أن الله بكل شيء عليم
