Ahmed Raza Khan: Mohammed Aqib Qadri:
If you divorce them before you have touched them and
have appointed the bridal money, then payment of half of what
is agreed is ordained unless the women forgo some of it, or he
in whose hand is the marriage tie, pays more; and O men, your
paying more is closer to piety; and do not forget the favours
to each other; indeed Allah is seeing what you do.
Yusuf Ali:
And if ye divorce them before consummation, but after the
fixation of a dower for them, then the half of the dower (Is due to them),
unless they remit it or (the man's half) is remitted by him in whose hands
is the marriage tie; and the remission (of the man's half) is the nearest
to righteousness. And do not forget Liberality between yourselves. For Allah
sees well all that ye do.
Pickthal:
If ye divorce them before ye have touched them and ye have
appointed unto them a portion, then (pay the) half of that which ye
appointed, unless they (the women) agree to forgo it, or he agreeth to
forgo it in whose hand is the marriage tie. To forgo is nearer to piety.
And forget not kindness among yourselves. Allah is Seer of what ye do.
