Sura 2
Aya 241
241
وَلِلمُطَلَّقاتِ مَتاعٌ بِالمَعروفِ ۖ حَقًّا عَلَى المُتَّقينَ

Muhammad Asad

And the divorced women, too, shall have [a right to] maintenance in a goodly manner:1 this is a duty for all who are conscious of God.
  • This obviously relates to women who are divorced without any legal fault on their part. The amount of alimony - payable unless and until they remarry - has been left unspecified since it must depend on the husband's financial circumstances and on the social conditions of the time.
