يَا أَيُّهَا
النَّبِيُّ
إِذَا
طَلَّقْتُمُ
النِّسَاءَ
فَطَلِّقُوهُنَّ
لِعِدَّتِهِنَّ
وَأَحْصُوا
الْعِدَّةَ
وَاتَّقُوا
اللَّهَ
رَبَّكُمْ
لَا
تُخْرِجُوهُنَّ
مِن
بُيُوتِهِنَّ
وَلَا
يَخْرُجْنَ
إِلَّا
أَن
يَأْتِينَ
بِفَاحِشَةٍ
مُّبَيِّنَةٍ
وَتِلْكَ
حُدُودُ
اللَّهِ
وَمَن
يَتَعَدَّ
حُدُودَ
اللَّهِ
فَقَدْ
ظَلَمَ
نَفْسَهُ
لَا
تَدْرِي
لَعَلَّ
اللَّهَ
يُحْدِثُ
بَعْدَ
ذَلِكَ
أَمْرًا

Prophet and believers, if you want to divorce your wives, you should divorce them at a time after which they can start their waiting period. Let them keep an account of the number of the days in the waiting period. Have fear of God, your Lord. (During their waiting period) do not expel them from their homes and they also must not go out of their homes, unless they commit proven indecency. These are the Laws of God. Whoever transgresses against the laws of God has certainly wronged himself. You never know, perhaps God will bring about some new situation.
