At-Talaq
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّبِيُّ إِذَا طَلَّقۡتُمُ ٱلنِّسَآءَ فَطَلِّقُوهُنَّ لِعِدَّتِهِنَّ وَأَحۡصُواْ ٱلۡعِدَّةَۖ وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ رَبَّكُمۡۖ لَا تُخۡرِجُوهُنَّ مِنۢ بُيُوتِهِنَّ وَلَا يَخۡرُجۡنَ إِلَّآ أَن يَأۡتِينَ بِفَٰحِشَةٖ مُّبَيِّنَةٖۚ وَتِلۡكَ حُدُودُ ٱللَّهِۚ وَمَن يَتَعَدَّ حُدُودَ ٱللَّهِ فَقَدۡ ظَلَمَ نَفۡسَهُۥۚ لَا تَدۡرِي لَعَلَّ ٱللَّهَ يُحۡدِثُ بَعۡدَ ذَٰلِكَ أَمۡرٗا
(65:1) O Prophet, when you divorce women, divorce them for their waiting-period,1
and compute the waiting period accurately,2 and hold Allah, your
Lord, in awe. Do not turn them out of their homes (during the waiting period)
– nor should they go away (from their homes)3– unless they have committed
a manifestly evil deed.4 Such are the bounds set by Allah; and he
who transgresses the bounds set by Allah commits a wrong against himself. You
do not know: maybe Allah will cause something to happen to pave the way (for
reconciliation).5

فَإِذَا بَلَغۡنَ أَجَلَهُنَّ فَأَمۡسِكُوهُنَّ بِمَعۡرُوفٍ أَوۡ فَارِقُوهُنَّ بِمَعۡرُوفٖ وَأَشۡهِدُواْ ذَوَيۡ عَدۡلٖ مِّنكُمۡ وَأَقِيمُواْ ٱلشَّهَٰدَةَ لِلَّهِۚ ذَٰلِكُمۡ يُوعَظُ بِهِۦ مَن كَانَ يُؤۡمِنُ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلۡيَوۡمِ ٱلۡأٓخِرِۚ وَمَن يَتَّقِ ٱللَّهَ يَجۡعَل لَّهُۥ مَخۡرَجٗا
(65:2) And when they reach the end of their term (of waiting), then either
honourably retain them (in the bond of wedlock) or honourably part with them,6
and call two persons of known probity as witnesses from among yourselves,7
and (let these witnesses) give upright testimony for the sake of Allah. That
is to what all those that believe in Allah and the Last Day are exhorted.8
Allah will find a way out for him who fears Allah,9
