وَإِن طَلَّقْتُمُوهُنَّ مِن قَبْلِ أَن تَمَسُّوهُنَّ وَقَدْ فَرَضْتُمْ لَهُنَّ فَرِيضَةًۭ فَنِصْفُ مَا فَرَضْتُمْ إِلَّآ أَن يَعْفُونَ أَوْ يَعْفُوَا۟ ٱلَّذِى بِيَدِهِۦ عُقْدَةُ ٱلنِّكَاحِ ۚ وَأَن تَعْفُوٓا۟ أَقْرَبُ لِلتَّقْوَىٰ ۚ وَلَا تَنسَوُا۟ ٱلْفَضْلَ بَيْنَكُمْ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرٌ
How to read it
Wa 'in ṭallaq'tumūhunna min qab'li 'an tamassūhunna waqad' faraḍ'tum' lahunna farīḍatan faniṣ'fu mā faraḍ'tum' 'illā 'an yaʻ'fūna 'aw' yaʻ'fūā -lladhī biyadihī ʻuq'datu nnikāḥi . wa'an taʻ'fū 'aq'rabu li ttaq'wā . walā tansawu l-faḍ'la bay'nakum' . 'inna -llaha bimā taʻ'malūna baṣīrun
And if ye divorce them before consummation, but after the fixation of a dower for them, then the half of the dower (Is due to them), unless they remit it or (the man's half) is remitted by him in whose hands is the marriage tie; and the remission (of the man's half) is the nearest to righteousness. And do not forget Liberality between yourselves. For Allah sees well all that ye do.
