Ahmed Raza Khan: Mohammed Aqib Qadri:
O People who Believe! When Muslim women
leave the lands of disbelief and migrate towards you, examine them; Allah
knows more about their faith; so if you judge the women to be believers,
do not send them back to the disbelievers; neither are they lawful for
the disbelievers, nor are the disbelievers lawful for them; and give their
disbelieving husbands what they had spent; and there is no sin upon you
to marry them if you give them their bridal money; and do not continue
the marriage with disbelieving women - and ask for what you had spent,
and the disbelievers may ask for what they had spent; this is Allah’s command;
He judges between you; and Allah is All Knowing, Wise.
Yusuf Ali:
O ye who believe! When there come to you believing women refugees, examine (and test) them: Allah knows best as to their Faith: if ye ascertain that they are Believers, then send them not back to the Unbelievers. They are not lawful (wives) for the Unbelievers, nor are the (Unbelievers) lawful (husbands) for them. But pay the Unbelievers what they have spent (on their dower), and there will be no blame on you if ye marry them on payment of their dower to them. But hold not to the guardianship of unbelieving women: ask for what ye have spent on their dowers, and let the (Unbelievers) ask for what they have spent (on the dowers of women who come over to you). Such is the command of Allah: He judges (with justice) between you. And Allah is Full of Knowledge and Wisdom.
Pickthal:
O ye who believe! When believing women come unto you as fugitives, examine them. Allah is Best Aware of their faith. Then, if ye know them for true believers, send them not back unto the disbelievers. They are not lawful for them (the disbelievers), nor are they (the disbelievers) lawful for them. And give them (the disbelievers) that which they have spent (upon them). And it is no sin for you to marry such women when ye have given them their dues. And hold not to the ties of disbelieving women; and ask for (the return of) that which ye have spent; and let them (the disbelievers) ask for that which they have spent. That is the judgment of Allah. He judgeth between you. Allah is Knower, Wise.
