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.
預言者よ，あなたがたが妻と離婚する時は，定められた期限に離別しその期間を（正確に）計算しなさい。あなたがたの主アッラーを畏れなさい。かの女らに明白な不貞がない限り，（期限満了以前に）家から追い出してはならない。また（かの女らを）出て行かせてはならない。これらはアッラーの掟である。アッラーの掟に背く者は，確かに自分の魂を損う者である。あなたは知らないが，アッラーはこの後で，新しい事態を引き起こされるかも知れない。
