وَيَسْتَفْتُونَكَ
فِي
النِّسَاءِ
قُلِ
اللَّهُ
يُفْتِيكُمْ
فِيهِنَّ
وَمَا
يُتْلَى
عَلَيْكُمْ
فِي
الْكِتَابِ
فِي
يَتَامَى
النِّسَاءِ
اللَّاتِي
لَا
تُؤْتُونَهُنَّ
مَا
كُتِبَ
لَهُنَّ
وَتَرْغَبُونَ
أَن
تَنكِحُوهُنَّ
وَالْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ
مِنَ
الْوِلْدَانِ
وَأَن
تَقُومُوا
لِلْيَتَامَى
بِالْقِسْطِ
وَمَا
تَفْعَلُوا
مِنْ
خَيْرٍ
فَإِنَّ
اللَّهَ
كَانَ
بِهِ
عَلِيمًا

They ask thy instruction concerning the women say: Allah doth instruct you about them: And (remember) what hath been rehearsed unto you in the Book, concerning the orphans of women to whom ye give not the portions prescribed, and yet whom ye desire to marry, as also concerning the children who are weak and oppressed: that ye stand firm for justice to orphans. There is not a good deed which ye do, but Allah is well-acquainted therewith.
— Abdullah Yusufali
They seek your ruling concerning women. Say, ‘Allah gives you a ruling concerning them and what is announced to you in the Book concerning girl orphans—whom you do not give what has been prescribed for them, and yet you desire to marry them—and about the weak among children: that you should maintain the orphans with justice, and whatever good you do, indeed Allah knows it well.
