2:234
وَالَّذِينَ
يُتَوَفَّوْنَ
مِنكُمْ
وَيَذَرُونَ
أَزْوَاجًا
يَتَرَبَّصْنَ
بِأَنفُسِهِنَّ
أَرْبَعَةَ
أَشْهُرٍ
وَعَشْرًا
فَإِذَا
بَلَغْنَ
أَجَلَهُنَّ
فَلَا
جُنَاحَ
عَلَيْكُمْ
فِيمَا
فَعَلْنَ
فِي
أَنفُسِهِنَّ
بِالْمَعْرُوفِ
وَاللَّهُ
بِمَا
تَعْمَلُونَ
خَبِيرٌ

The wives of those of you who die have to wait for a period of four months and ten days. After this appointed time, it is no sin for the relatives of the deceased to let the widows do what is reasonable. God knows well what you do.
