Quran verses about Harm and hurt

الأذى

39 verses in 15 surahs · 10 subtopics

No one is harmed except by Allah’s permission, and none but He can remove affliction: these verses recall this while forbidding harm to others. They speak of Allah’s support for those persecuted in His cause, the suffering of the messengers at the hands of the disbelievers, physical ailment as a legal excuse, and the hurt caused when giving charity, which voids its reward.

Keeping away from women during menstruation, for it is a harm · 1 verse

Al-Baqarah2:222

وَيَسْـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلْمَحِيضِ قُلْ هُوَ أَذًى فَٱعْتَزِلُوا۟ ٱلنِّسَآءَ فِى ٱلْمَحِيضِ وَلَا تَقْرَبُوهُنَّ حَتَّىٰ يَطْهُرْنَ فَإِذَا تَطَهَّرْنَ فَأْتُوهُنَّ مِنْ حَيْثُ أَمَرَكُمُ ٱللَّهُ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُحِبُّ ٱلتَّوَّٰبِينَ وَيُحِبُّ ٱلْمُتَطَهِّرِينَ ۝٢٢٢

And they ask you about menstruation. Say, "It is harm, so keep away from wives during menstruation. And do not approach them until they are pure. And when they have purified themselves, then come to them from where Allāh has ordained for you. Indeed, Allāh loves those who are constantly repentant and loves those who purify themselves."
