TO PROVIDE THE WOMAN'S
MAINTENANCE IN THE EVENT OF DIVORCE
Divorced women should receive maintenance given with
correctness and courtesy: a duty for all who guard against evil.
(Qur'an, 2:241)

THAT THERE IS NO NEED TO CALCULATE
THE TERM IF THE WOMAN IS DIVORCED
FROM HER HUSBAND BEFORE HE HAS
TOUCHED HER
You who believe! When you marry believing women and then
divorce them before you have touched them, there is no term for
you to calculate for them, so give them a gift and let them go with
kindness. (Qur'an, 33:49)

THE PERIOD THE WOMAN HAS TO
WAIT WHEN HER HUSBAND DIES
Those of you who die leaving wives behind: they should wait by
themselves for four months and ten nights. When their term comes
to an end, you are not to blame for anything they do with
themselves with correctness and courtesy. Allah is aware of what
you do. (Qur'an, 2:234)

NOT TO APPROACH WOMEN
DURING MENSTRUATION
They will ask you about menstruation. Say, 'It is an impurity, so
keep apart from women during menstruation and do not approach
them until they have purified themselves. But once they have
purified themselves, then go to them in the way that Allah has
enjoined on you.' Allah loves those who turn back from
wrongdoing and He loves those who purify themselves. (Qur'an,
2:222)
