women who are divorced shall wait keeping themselves apart three courses. and it is not lawful for them that they should conceal that which allah hath created in their wombs if they are believers in allah and the last day. and their husbands would do better to take them back in that case if they desire a reconciliation. and they have rights similar to those over them in kindness and men are a degree above them. allah is mighty wise.
والمطلقات يتربصن بأنفسهن ثلاثة قروء ولا يحل لهن أن يكتمن ما خلق الله في أرحامهن إن كن يؤمن بالله واليوم الآخر وبعولتهن أحق بردهن في ذلك إن أرادوا إصلاحا ولهن مثل الذي عليهن بالمعروف وللرجال عليهن درجة والله عزيز حكيم
