Word Analysis — The Cow 2:237
al-Baqarah · Verse 237 of 286
Abdel Haleem Word Analysis
If you divorce wives before consummating the marriage but after fixing a bride-gift for them, then give them half of what you had previously fixed, unless they waive [their right], or unless the one who holds the marriage tie waives [his right]. Waiving [your right] is nearer to godliness, so do not forget to be generous towards one another: God sees what you do
