وَالَّذِينَ
يُظَاهِرُونَ
مِن
نِّسَائِهِمْ
ثُمَّ
يَعُودُونَ
لِمَا
قَالُوا
فَتَحْرِيرُ
رَقَبَةٍ
مِّن
قَبْلِ
أَن
يَتَمَاسَّا
ذَلِكُمْ
تُوعَظُونَ
بِهِ
وَاللَّهُ
بِمَا
تَعْمَلُونَ
خَبِيرٌ
wa-lladhīna yuẓāhirūna min nisāʾihim thumma yaʿūdūna li-mā qālū fa-taḥrīru raqabatin min qabli ʾan yatamāssā dhālikum tūʿaẓūna bihī wa-llāhu bi-mā taʿmalūna khabīrun
But those who divorce their wives by Zihar, then wish to go back on the words they uttered,- (It is ordained that such a one) should free a slave before they touch each other: Thus are ye admonished to perform: and Allah is well-acquainted with (all) that ye do.
— Abdullah Yusufali
Those who repudiate their wives by ³ih¡r and then retract what they have said, shall set free a slave before they may touch each other. This you are advised [to carry out], and Allah is well aware of what you do.
