And those of you who die and leave behind wives should bequeath for their wives a year's maintenance and residence without turning them out, but if they (wives) leave, there is no sin on you for that which they do of themselves, provided it is honourable (e.g. lawful marriage). And Allah is All-Mighty, All-Wise. [The order of this Verse has been cancelled (abrogated) by Verse 4:12].
Na wale miongoni mwenu wanao kufa na wakawacha wake, na wausie kwa ajili ya wake zao kupata matumizi kwa mwaka mmoja bila ya kuwatoa nyumba. Na wanawake wenyewe wakiondoka, basi hapana ubaya kwenu kwa waliyo jifanyia wenyewe kwa mujibu wa Sharia. Na Mwenyezi Mungu ni Mwenye nguvu na Mwenye hikima.
