The rulings on divorce are set out in these verses: parting from one’s wife in a good manner, with no harm done to the divorced woman, revocable divorces and irrevocable divorce, and separation in return for compensation paid by the wife. They also deal with the waiting period of the divorced woman and of the widow, the oath of abstinence, and the case of a woman divorced before the marriage is consummated.
Verses gathered from a topical index of the Quran, in Mushaf order; every verse is quoted in full.
And when you divorce women and they have [nearly] fulfilled their term, either retain them according to acceptable terms or release them according to acceptable terms, and do not keep them, intending harm, to transgress [against them]. And whoever does that has certainly wronged himself. And do not take the verses of Allāh in jest. And remember the favor of Allāh upon you and what has been revealed to you of the Book [i.e., the Qur’ān] and wisdom [i.e., the Prophet's sunnah] by which He instructs you. And fear Allāh and know that Allāh is Knowing of all things.
And when you divorce women and they have fulfilled their term, do not prevent them from remarrying their [former] husbands if they [i.e., all parties] agree among themselves on an acceptable basis. That is instructed to whoever of you believes in Allāh and the Last Day. That is better for you and purer, and Allāh knows and you know not.
