1O Prophet! When you wish to divorce women, divorce them taking their menstrual cycles into account, reckon their waiting periods (iddah) carefully, and guard yourselves against defying Allah, your Lord. Do not turn your wives who are observing their waiting period out of your houses unless they commit an open indecency, nor should they leave their homes. These are the limits Allah has set. Whoever transgresses the limits Allah has set has wronged himself. And how can you know? Perhaps after this Allah may bring about some new developments.

2When women reach the end of their waiting period, either keep them on in a good manner or part from them in a good manner, and have two just persons from among you witness this decision of yours. And you, the witnesses, give your testimony properly, for Allah's sake! All this is an admonition to you believers who believe and trust in Allah and the Last Day. Whoever guards himself against defying Allah, Allah will show him a way out.
3And He will provide for him from where he never expected. For whoever relies and trusts in Allah, Allah is enough for him. There is no doubt that Allah carries out His every command. For Allah has set a measure for all things.

As for pregnant women, their waiting period ends when they give birth. Whoever guards himself against defying Allah, Allah will surely grant him ease in his affairs.
5This is Allah's command, which He has sent down to you. Whoever guards himself against defying Allah, Allah will cover over his sins and give him a tremendous reward.

6House the wives you have divorced in part of the homes you live in, according to your means, and do not press them so that they will leave the house; and if they are pregnant, provide for their maintenance until they give birth. If they nurse your child, pay them their nursing fee, and come to an agreement between you about nursing and payment according to the conditions of the day. If you cannot reach agreement on this, the father will find another wet nurse.
