ٱلنَّبِىُّ
إِذَا
طَلَّقْتُمُ
ٱلنِّسَآءَ
فَطَلِّقُوهُنَّ
لِعِدَّتِهِنَّ
وَأَحْصُوا۟
ٱلْعِدَّةَ ۖ
وَٱتَّقُوا۟
ٱللَّهَ
رَبَّكُمْ ۖ
لَا
تُخْرِجُوهُنَّ
مِنۢ
بُيُوتِهِنَّ
وَلَا
يَخْرُجْنَ
إِلَّآ
أَن
يَأْتِينَ
بِفَـٰحِشَةٍۢ
مُّبَيِّنَةٍۢ ۚ
وَتِلْكَ
حُدُودُ
ٱللَّهِ ۚ
وَمَن
يَتَعَدَّ
حُدُودَ
ٱللَّهِ
فَقَدْ
ظَلَمَ
نَفْسَهُۥ ۚ
لَا
تَدْرِى
لَعَلَّ
ٱللَّهَ
يُحْدِثُ
بَعْدَ
ذَٰلِكَ

Prophet, when any of you intend to divorce women, do so at a time when their prescribed waiting period can properly start, and calculate the period carefully: be mindful of God, your Lord. Do not drive them out of their homes––nor should they themselves leave––unless they commit a flagrant indecency. These are the limits set by God–– whoever oversteps God’s limits wrongs his own soul––for you cannot know what new situation God may perhaps bring about.
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
