أُحِلَّ Permitted لَكُمْ for you لَيْلَةَ (in the) nights ٱلصِّيَامِ (of) fasting ٱلرَّفَثُ (is) the approach إِلَىٰ to نِسَآئِكُمْ ۚ your wives هُنَّ They لِبَاسٌۭ (are) garments لَّكُمْ for you وَأَنتُمْ and you لِبَاسٌۭ (are) garments لَّهُنَّ ۗ for them عَلِمَ Knows ٱللَّهُ Allah أَنَّكُمْ that you كُنتُمْ used to تَخْتَانُونَ deceive أَنفُسَكُمْ yourselves فَتَابَ so He turned عَلَيْكُمْ towards you وَعَفَا and He forgave عَنكُمْ ۖ [on] you فَٱلْـَٔـٰنَ So now بَـٰشِرُوهُنَّ have relations with them وَٱبْتَغُوا۟ and seek مَا what كَتَبَ has ordained ٱللَّهُ Allah لَكُمْ ۚ for you وَكُلُوا۟ And eat وَٱشْرَبُوا۟ and drink حَتَّىٰ until يَتَبَيَّنَ becomes distinct لَكُمُ to you ٱلْخَيْطُ the thread ٱلْأَبْيَضُ [the] white مِنَ from ٱلْخَيْطِ the thread ٱلْأَسْوَدِ [the] black مِنَ of ٱلْفَجْرِ ۖ [the] dawn ثُمَّ Then أَتِمُّوا۟ complete ٱلصِّيَامَ the fast إِلَى till ٱلَّيْلِ ۚ the night وَلَا And (do) not تُبَـٰشِرُوهُنَّ have relations with them وَأَنتُمْ while you عَـٰكِفُونَ (are) secluded فِى in ٱلْمَسَـٰجِدِ ۗ the masajid تِلْكَ These حُدُودُ (are the) limits ٱللَّهِ (set by) Allah فَلَا so (do) not تَقْرَبُوهَا ۗ approach them كَذَٰلِكَ Thus يُبَيِّنُ makes clear ٱللَّهُ Allah ءَايَـٰتِهِۦ His verses لِلنَّاسِ for [the] people لَعَلَّهُمْ so that they may يَتَّقُونَ (become) righteous ١٨٧

It has been made permissible for you the night preceding fasting to go to your wives [for sexual relations]. They are a clothing for you and you are a clothing for them. Allāh knows that you used to deceive yourselves, so He accepted your repentance and forgave you. So now, have relations with them and seek that which Allāh has decreed for you [i.e., offspring]. And eat and drink until the white thread of dawn becomes distinct to you from the black thread [of night]. Then complete the fast until the night [i.e., sunset]. And do not have relations with them as long as you are staying for worship in the mosques. These are the limits [set by] Allāh, so do not approach them. Thus does Allāh make clear His verses [i.e., ordinances] to the people that they may become righteous.

And do not consume one another's wealth unjustly or send it [in bribery] to the rulers in order that [they might aid] you [to] consume a portion of the wealth of the people in sin, while you know [it is unlawful].

۞ يَسْـَٔلُونَكَ They ask you عَنِ about ٱلْأَهِلَّةِ ۖ the new moons قُلْ Say هِىَ They مَوَٰقِيتُ (are) indicators of periods لِلنَّاسِ for the people وَٱلْحَجِّ ۗ and (for) the Hajj وَلَيْسَ And it is not ٱلْبِرُّ [the] righteousness بِأَن that تَأْتُوا۟ you come ٱلْبُيُوتَ (to) the houses مِن from ظُهُورِهَا their backs وَلَـٰكِنَّ [and] but ٱلْبِرَّ [the] righteous مَنِ (is one) who ٱتَّقَىٰ ۗ fears (Allah) وَأْتُوا۟ And come ٱلْبُيُوتَ (to) the houses مِنْ from أَبْوَٰبِهَا ۚ their doors وَٱتَّقُوا۟ And fear ٱللَّهَ Allah لَعَلَّكُمْ so that you may تُفْلِحُونَ (be) successful ١٨٩

They ask you, [O Muḥammad], about the crescent moons. Say, "They are measurements of time for the people and for ḥajj [pilgrimage]." And it is not righteousness to enter houses from the back, but righteousness is [in] one who fears Allāh. And enter houses from their doors. And fear Allāh that you may succeed.

Fight in the way of Allāh those who fight against you but do not transgress. Indeed, Allāh does not like transgressors.
