وَإِنْ
أَرَدتُّمُ
اسْتِبْدَالَ
زَوْجٍ
مَّكَانَ
زَوْجٍ
وَآتَيْتُمْ
إِحْدَاهُنَّ
قِنطَارًا
فَلَا
تَأْخُذُوا
مِنْهُ
شَيْئًا
أَتَأْخُذُونَهُ
بُهْتَانًا
وَإِثْمًا
مُّبِينًا
wa-ʾin ʾaradtumu stibdāla zawjin makāna zawjin wa-ʾātaytum ʾiḥdāhunna qinṭāran fa-lā taʾkhudhū minhu shayʾan ʾa-taʾkhudhūnahū buhtānan wa-ʾithman mubīnan
If you want to divorce a woman so that you can marry another, do not take back the dowry which you had paid even if what you paid was a large amount of gold. To do this is a slanderous act and a manifest sin.
