There is no sin on you if you divorce women while you have not yet touched them or settled for them a settlement (dowry), but provide for them, (this is incumbent) on the rich in accordance with his power and on the straitened (Poor) in accordance with his power, a provision recognised (to be good), a duty incumbent on the doers of good.
“Instructions are given regarding divorcing women before touching them or before fixing any dowry and also regarding divorcing women whose dowries are fixed but they are not touched.”
