it is no sin if you divorce your wives while you have not yet touched them or fixed any dower for them. in such a case pay them something anyhow. a rich man should pay fairly according to his means and a poor man according to his resources for this is an obligation on the righteous people.
لا جناح عليكم إن طلقتم النساء ما لم تمسوهن أو تفرضوا لهن فريضة ومتعوهن على الموسع قدره وعلى المقتر قدره متاعا بالمعروف حقا على المحسنين
