Those who accuse chaste believing women, unaware (of the evil),
are cursed both in this world and the hereafter, and they will have
a terrible punishment (Qur'an, 24:23)
But those who make accusations against chaste women and then
do not produce four witnesses: flog them with eighty lashes and
never again accept them as witnesses. Such people are deviators
– (Qur'an, 24:4)
When you divorce women and they are near the end of their term,
then either retain them with correctness and courtesy or release
them with correctness and courtesy. Do not retain them by force,
thus overstepping the limits. Anyone who does that has wronged
himself. Do not make a mockery of Allah's Signs. Remember
Allah's blessing to you and the Book and Wisdom He has sent
down to you to admonish you. Have fear of Allah and know that
Allah has knowledge of all things. (Qur'an, 2:231)
You who believe! It is not lawful for you to inherit women by force.
Nor may you treat them harshly so that you can make off with
part of what you have given them, unless they commit an act of
flagrant indecency. Live together with them correctly and
courteously. If you dislike them, it may well be that you dislike
something in which Allah has placed a lot of good. (Qur'an, 4:19)
Divorced women should receive maintenance given with
correctness and courtesy: a duty for all who guard against evil.
(Qur'an, 2:241)

THEY ATTACH GREAT IMPORTANCE
TO CLEANLINESS
And when We made the House (Kaaba) a place of return, a
sanctuary for mankind: They took the Maqam of Ibrahim as a
place of prayer. We contracted with Ibrahim and Isma'il: 'Purify My
House for those who circle it, and those who stay there, and those
who bow and who prostrate.' (Qur'an, 2:125)
Purify your clothes. Shun all filth. (Qur'an, 74:4-5)
