O Believers! When the believing women come to you as emigrants, examine them thoroughly. Allah is Well Aware of (the reality of) their faith. Then if you find with certitude that they are true believers, do not send them back to the disbelievers. Neither are they (the believing women) lawful for those disbelievers, nor are those disbelievers lawful for these (believing women). And pay them (the disbelievers) back the money which those disbelievers spent (on them as dower). And there is no sin on you if you marry them while you pay these (women) their dower. And, O Believers, do not hold back the disbelieving women in (your) wedlock and ask (the disbelievers) for that (money) which you spent (on those women as dower), and they (the disbelievers) may also ask you for that (money) which they spent (on these women as dower). That is the Command of Allah. And He judges between you. And Allah is All-Knowing, Most Wise.
