Arabic

وَمَنْ لَّمْ يَسْتَطِعْ مِنْكُمْ طَوْلًا اَنْ يَّنْكِحَ الْمُحْصَنٰتِ الْمُؤْمِنٰتِ فَمِنْ مَّا مَلَكَتْ اَيْمَانُكُمْ مِّنْ فَتَيٰتِكُمُ الْمُؤْمِنٰتِۗ وَاللّٰهُ اَعْلَمُ بِاِيْمَانِكُمْ ۗ بَعْضُكُمْ مِّنْۢ بَعْضٍۚ فَانْكِحُوْهُنَّ بِاِذْنِ اَهْلِهِنَّ وَاٰتُوْهُنَّ اُجُوْرَهُنَّ بِالْمَعْرُوْفِ مُحْصَنٰتٍ غَيْرَ مُسٰفِحٰتٍ وَّلَا مُتَّخِذٰتِ اَخْدَانٍ ۚ فَاِذَآ اُحْصِنَّ فَاِنْ اَتَيْنَ بِفَاحِشَةٍ فَعَلَيْهِنَّ نِصْفُ مَا عَلَى الْمُحْصَنٰتِ مِنَ الْعَذَابِۗ ذٰلِكَ لِمَنْ خَشِيَ الْعَنَتَ مِنْكُمْ ۗ وَاَنْ تَصْبِرُوْا خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ ۗ وَاللّٰهُ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِيْمٌ ࣖ ۝٢٥

Wa mal lam yastaṭi‘ minkum ṭoulan ay yankiḥal-muḥṣonātil-mu'mināti fa mim mā malakat aimānukum min fatayātikumul-mu'mināt, wallāhu a‘lamu bi'īmānikum, ba‘ḍukum mim ba‘ḍ, fankiḥūhunna bi'iżni ahlihinna wa ātūhunna ujūrohunna bil-ma‘rūfi muḥṣonātin ghoiro musāfiḥātiw wa lā muttakhiżāti akhdān, fa iżā uḥṣinna fa in ataina bifāḥisyatin fa ‘alaihinna niṣfu mā ‘alal-muḥṣonāti minal-‘ażāb, żālika limay khosyial-‘anata minkum, wa an taṣbirū khoirul lakum, wallāhu ghofūrur roḥīm

Meaning

If any of you lack the means to marry free believing women, he may marry one of the believing maids under your control. Allah is well aware of your faith. You are from one another. Marry them with the permission of their guardians, and give them their recompense fairly—to be protected—neither committing adultery, nor taking secret lovers. When they are married, if they commit adultery, their punishment shall be half that of free women. That is for those among you who fear falling into decadence. But to practice self-restraint is better for you. Allah is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful.
