Arabic

وَاِنْ طَلَّقْتُمُوْهُنَّ مِنْ قَبْلِ اَنْ تَمَسُّوْهُنَّ وَقَدْ فَرَضْتُمْ لَهُنَّ فَرِيْضَةً فَنِصْفُ مَا فَرَضْتُمْ اِلَّآ اَنْ يَّعْفُوْنَ اَوْ يَعْفُوَا الَّذِيْ بِيَدِهٖ عُقْدَةُ النِّكَاحِ ۗ وَاَنْ تَعْفُوْٓا اَقْرَبُ لِلتَّقْوٰىۗ وَلَا تَنْسَوُا الْفَضْلَ بَيْنَكُمْ ۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ بَصِيْرٌ ۝٢٣٧

Transliteration

Wa in ṭollaqtumūhunna min qobli an tamassūhunna wa qod faroḍtum lahunna farīḍotan faniṣfu mā faroḍtum illā ay ya‘fūna au ya‘fuwal-lażī biyadihī ‘uqdatun-nikāḥ, wa an ta‘fū aqrobu lit-taqwā, wa lā tansawul-faḍla bainakum, innallāha bimā ta‘malūna baṣīr

Meaning

If you divorce them before you have touched them, but after you had set the dowry for them, give them half of what you specified—unless they forgo the right, or the one in whose hand is the marriage contract forgoes it. But to forgo is nearer to piety. And do not forget generosity between one another. Allah is Seeing of everything you do.
