ዛሬ መልካሞች ሁሉ ለናንተ ተፈቀዱ ፡ ፡ የእነዚያም መጽሐፍን የተሰጡት ሰዎች ምግብ ( ያረዱት ) ለእናንተ የተፈቀደ ነው ፡ ፡ ምግባችሁም ለነሱ የተፈቀደ ነው ፡ ፡ ከምእመናት ጥብቆቹም ከእነዚያ ከእናንተ በፊት መጽሐፍን ከተሰጡት ሴቶች ጥብቆቹም ፤ ዘማዊዎችና ( ዝሙተኞች ) የምስጢር ወዳጅ ያዢዎች ሳትኾኑ ጥብቆች ኾናችሁ መህሮቻቸውን በሰጣችኋቸው ጊዜ ( ልታገቡዋቸው የተፈቀዱ ናቸው ) ፡ ፡ ከእምነትም የሚመለስ ሰው በእርግጥ ሥራው ተበላሸ ፡ ፡ በመጨረሻም ቀን እርሱ ከከሳሪዎቹ ነው ፡ ፡
And permitted to you are chaste women , be they either from among the believers or from among those who have received the Book before you , provided you become their protectors in wedlock after paying them their bridal-due , rather than go around committing fornication and taking them as secret-companions . The work of he who refuses to follow the way of faith will go waste , and he will be among the utter losers in the Hereafter .
