2:221
Do not marry women who associate partners unless they believe. A believing servant woman is better than a woman who associates partners, even if you like her. And do not marry your daughters to men who associate partners until they believe. A believing servant boy is better than one who associates partners, even if you like him. They call to the Fire. Allah, on the other hand, calls to Paradise and forgiveness, and He makes His verses clear to the people so that they may take admonition.

"They ask you about menstruation, Say: "It is an inconvenience. Do not have sexual intercourse with menstruating women and do not approach them until they are free from it. When they are free from it, then have sexual intercourse with them in the place that Allah permits you. Allah loves those who turn, and He loves the purified."

2:223
Your women are your fields (in which you sow). Reach your fields as you wish. Prepare for yourselves for the future. Listen to Allah and know that you will surely meet Him. Give good news to those who believe.
|
|
|
2:224
Do not make Allah an instrument of your oaths in order to appear good, virtuous and honest among the people. Allah Hears, Knows.
|
|
|
2:225
Allah does not hold you responsible for your unintentional oaths, but He holds you responsible for the true intention in your hearts. Allah is Forgiving, Compassionate.

2:226
Those who intend to divorce their wives should wait four months (for a sound decision). If they give up and reconcile, Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
|
|
|
2:228
The divorced women should wait three months for themselves (before marrying another). It is not fitting for them to conceal what Allah has created in their wombs if they believe in Allah and the Last Day. In that case (if they become pregnant) their husbands have more right to take them back if they wish to reconcile. Women have equal rights over men as men have rights over women, and men have a rank over them (in case of pregnancy). Allah is Mighty, Wise.

2:229
Divorce is twice. Divorced women should either be kept in kindness or left in kindness. It is not lawful for you to take back what you have given them, except if the spouses fear that they may not observe the limits of Allah. If you fear that you may not observe the limits of Allah, then they will not be guilty of sin for what she has willingly given back. These are the limits of Allah; do not transgress them. Whoever transgresses the limits of Allah, they are the wrongdoers.

|
2:230
If he divorces her again (for the third time), she is not lawful for him after that unless she marries another. There is no harm in their returning to each other if they believe that they will observe the law of Allah. This is the law of Allah; We have made it clear for a people who know.
|
|
|
2:231
When you divorce women, when they have finished their waiting period, either keep them with you in kindness or let them go in kindness. Do not keep them in such a way as to harm them in revenge. He who does that is wronging himself. Do not take the signs of Allah lightly. Think of Allah´s favors which He has bestowed upon you and of the Book and the wisdom which He has sent down to you for your admonition. Listen to Allah and know that Allah is All-Knowing.
|
|
|
2:232
When the divorced women have finished their waiting period, do not prevent them from remarrying if they agree with their husbands in goodness. Those of you who believe in Allah and the Last Day take admonition from this. That is purer and healthier for you. Allah knows, even if you do not know.

2:233
For those who wish to complete the period of breastfeeding, mothers should breastfeed their babies for two years. The mother´s need for food and clothing should be met by the father of the child in a good and proper manner. No one should be held responsible beyond his capacity. The mother should not be harmed because of her child, nor should the father be harmed because of his child. It is also the duty of the heir to realize this. If the parents want to wean after consultation and agreement, there is no sin on either of them. If you wish to have your children suckled by a wet nurse, you are not liable as long as you pay her properly. Listen to Allah, Allah is All-Seeing of what you do.
|

|
2:234
The wives left behind by the men who die among you wait four months and ten (days). When they have fulfilled their term, there is no responsibility on you to do what is suitable for them. Allah is All-Knowing of what you do.
|
|
|
2:235
There is no sin on you for informing them of your proposal of marriage, or for keeping this intention within you. Allah knows what you think about them. Do not meet them in secret except for the purpose of talking to them in a proper and virtuous manner. And do not attempt to marry them before their waiting period has expired. Know that Allah knows what is in you, so beware of Him. And know that Allah is Forgiving, Compassionate.
|
|
|
2:236
It is permissible for you to divorce women before you have touched them or before they have paid their mahr. In that case, pay them. The rich should compensate them according to their means, and the poor should compensate them according to their means. This is the duty of the righteous.
|
|
|
2:237
If you have divorced them after you have paid the bride price, but before you have touched them, you should give them half of the promised bride price. Unless the wife renounces her right or the husband wants to give the full amount. It is more virtuous for you to give it up. Remember the friendship between you. Allah is All-Seeing of what you do.
|
|
|
2:238
Pay attention to the prayers, especially the middle prayer. Stand in prayer, giving yourselves wholly to Allah.
|
|
|
2:239
If you are anxious and worried, (perform the prayer) on foot or on horseback. When you are safe, remember Allah as He taught you what you did not know.
|
|
|
2:240
Those of you who die and leave wives, let them make a will that their wives should be provided for for a year without leaving their homes. If they leave, you are not responsible for their doing what is proper for them. Allah is Mighty, Wise.
