۞ وَٱلْمُحْصَنَـٰتُ And (prohibited are) the ones who are married مِنَ of ٱلنِّسَآءِ the women إِلَّا except مَا whom مَلَكَتْ you possess أَيْمَـٰنُكُمْ ۖ rightfully كِتَـٰبَ Decree ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah عَلَيْكُمْ ۚ upon you وَأُحِلَّ And are lawful لَكُم to you مَّا what وَرَآءَ (is) beyond ذَٰلِكُمْ that أَن that تَبْتَغُوا۟ you seek بِأَمْوَٰلِكُم with your wealth مُّحْصِنِينَ desiring to be chaste غَيْرَ not مُسَـٰفِحِينَ ۚ (to be) lustful فَمَا So what ٱسْتَمْتَعْتُم you benefit[ed] بِهِۦ of it مِنْهُنَّ from them فَـَٔاتُوهُنَّ so you give them أُجُورَهُنَّ their bridal due فَرِيضَةًۭ ۚ (as) an obligation وَلَا And (there is) no جُنَاحَ sin عَلَيْكُمْ on you فِيمَا concerning what تَرَٰضَيْتُم you mutually agree بِهِۦ of it مِنۢ from بَعْدِ beyond ٱلْفَرِيضَةِ ۚ the obligation إِنَّ Indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah كَانَ is عَلِيمًا All-Knowing حَكِيمًۭا All-Wise ٢٤

And [also prohibited to you are all] married women except those your right hands possess. [This is] the decree of Allāh upon you. And lawful to you are [all others] beyond these, [provided] that you seek them [in marriage] with [gifts from] your property, desiring chastity, not unlawful sexual intercourse. So for whatever you enjoy [of marriage] from them, give them their due compensation as an obligation. And there is no blame upon you for what you mutually agree to beyond the obligation. Indeed, Allāh is ever Knowing and Wise.

4:25

وَمَن And whoever لَّمْ (is) not يَسْتَطِعْ able to مِنكُمْ among you طَوْلًا afford أَن to يَنكِحَ marry ٱلْمُحْصَنَـٰتِ the free chaste ٱلْمُؤْمِنَـٰتِ [the] believing women فَمِن then (marry) from مَّا what مَلَكَتْ possess[ed] أَيْمَـٰنُكُم your right hands مِّن of فَتَيَـٰتِكُمُ your slave girls ٱلْمُؤْمِنَـٰتِ ۚ (of) the believers وَٱللَّهُ And Allah أَعْلَمُ knows best بِإِيمَـٰنِكُم ۚ about your faith بَعْضُكُم You مِّنۢ (are) from بَعْضٍۢ ۚ (one) another فَٱنكِحُوهُنَّ So marry them بِإِذْنِ with (the) permission أَهْلِهِنَّ (of) their family وَءَاتُوهُنَّ and give them أُجُورَهُنَّ their bridal due بِٱلْمَعْرُوفِ in a fair manner مُحْصَنَـٰتٍ (They should be) chaste غَيْرَ not مُسَـٰفِحَـٰتٍۢ those who commit immorality وَلَا and not مُتَّخِذَٰتِ those who take أَخْدَانٍۢ ۚ secret lovers فَإِذَآ Then when أُحْصِنَّ they are married فَإِنْ and if أَتَيْنَ they commit بِفَـٰحِشَةٍۢ adultery فَعَلَيْهِنَّ then for them نِصْفُ (is) half مَا (of) what عَلَى (is) on ٱلْمُحْصَنَـٰتِ the free chaste women مِنَ of ٱلْعَذَابِ ۚ the punishment ذَٰلِكَ That لِمَنْ (is) for whoever خَشِىَ fears ٱلْعَنَتَ committing sin مِنكُمْ ۚ among you وَأَن and that تَصْبِرُوا۟ you be patient خَيْرٌۭ (is) better لَّكُمْ ۗ for you وَٱللَّهُ And Allah غَفُورٌۭ (is) Oft-Forgiving رَّحِيمٌۭ Most Merciful ٢٥

And whoever among you cannot [find] the means to marry free, believing women, then [he may marry] from those whom your right hands possess of believing slave girls. And Allāh is most knowing about your faith. You [believers] are of one another. So marry them with the permission of their people and give them their due compensation [i.e., mahr] according to what is acceptable. [They should be] chaste, neither [of] those who commit unlawful intercourse randomly nor those who take [secret] lovers. But once they are sheltered in marriage, if they should commit adultery, then for them is half the punishment for free [unmarried] women. This [allowance] is for him among you who fears affliction [i.e., sin], but to be patient is better for you. And Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful.

ٱلرِّجَالُ [The] men قَوَّٰمُونَ (are) protectors عَلَى of ٱلنِّسَآءِ the women بِمَا because فَضَّلَ (has) bestowed ٱللَّهُ Allah بَعْضَهُمْ some of them عَلَىٰ over بَعْضٍۢ others وَبِمَآ and because أَنفَقُوا۟ they spend مِنْ from أَمْوَٰلِهِمْ ۚ their wealth فَٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتُ So the righteous women قَـٰنِتَـٰتٌ (are) obedient حَـٰفِظَـٰتٌۭ guarding لِّلْغَيْبِ in the unseen بِمَا that which حَفِظَ (orders) them to guard ٱللَّهُ ۚ (by) Allah وَٱلَّـٰتِى And those (from) whom تَخَافُونَ you fear نُشُوزَهُنَّ their ill-conduct فَعِظُوهُنَّ then advise them وَٱهْجُرُوهُنَّ and forsake them فِى in ٱلْمَضَاجِعِ the bed وَٱضْرِبُوهُنَّ ۖ and [finally] strike them فَإِنْ Then if أَطَعْنَكُمْ they obey you فَلَا then (do) not تَبْغُوا۟ seek عَلَيْهِنَّ against them سَبِيلًا ۗ a way إِنَّ Indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah كَانَ is عَلِيًّۭا Most High كَبِيرًۭا Most Great ٣٤

Men are in charge of women by [right of] what Allāh has given one over the other and what they spend [for maintenance] from their wealth. So righteous women are devoutly obedient, guarding in [the husband's] absence what Allāh would have them guard. But those [wives] from whom you fear arrogance - [first] advise them; [then if they persist], forsake them in bed; and [finally], strike them [lightly]. But if they obey you [once more], seek no means against them. Indeed, Allāh is ever Exalted and Grand.

O you who have believed, do not approach prayer while you are intoxicated until you know what you are saying or in a state of janābah, except those passing through [a place of prayer], until you have washed [your whole body]. And if you are ill or on a journey or one of you comes from the place of relieving himself or you have contacted women [i.e., had sexual intercourse] and find no water, then seek clean earth and wipe over your faces and your hands [with it]. Indeed, Allāh is ever Pardoning and Forgiving.
