لَّا Not يَنْهَىٰكُمُ (does) forbid you ٱللَّهُ Allah عَنِ from ٱلَّذِينَ those who لَمْ (do) not يُقَـٰتِلُوكُمْ fight you فِى in ٱلدِّينِ the religion وَلَمْ and (do) not يُخْرِجُوكُم drive you out مِّن of دِيَـٰرِكُمْ your homes أَن that تَبَرُّوهُمْ you deal kindly وَتُقْسِطُوٓا۟ and deal justly إِلَيْهِمْ ۚ with them إِنَّ Indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah يُحِبُّ loves ٱلْمُقْسِطِينَ those who act justly ٨

Allāh does not forbid you from those who do not fight you because of religion and do not expel you from your homes - from being righteous toward them and acting justly toward them. Indeed, Allāh loves those who act justly.

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا O you ٱلَّذِينَ who ءَامَنُوٓا۟ believe إِذَا When جَآءَكُمُ come to you ٱلْمُؤْمِنَـٰتُ the believing women مُهَـٰجِرَٰتٍۢ (as) emigrants فَٱمْتَحِنُوهُنَّ ۖ then examine them ٱللَّهُ Allah أَعْلَمُ (is) most knowing بِإِيمَـٰنِهِنَّ ۖ of their faith فَإِنْ And if عَلِمْتُمُوهُنَّ you know them مُؤْمِنَـٰتٍۢ (to be) believers فَلَا then (do) not تَرْجِعُوهُنَّ return them إِلَى to ٱلْكُفَّارِ ۖ the disbelievers لَا Not هُنَّ they حِلٌّۭ (are) lawful لَّهُمْ for them وَلَا and not هُمْ they يَحِلُّونَ are lawful لَهُنَّ ۖ for them وَءَاتُوهُم But give them مَّآ what أَنفَقُوا۟ ۚ they have spent وَلَا And not جُنَاحَ any blame عَلَيْكُمْ upon you أَن if تَنكِحُوهُنَّ you marry them إِذَآ when ءَاتَيْتُمُوهُنَّ you have given them أُجُورَهُنَّ ۚ their (bridal) dues وَلَا And (do) not تُمْسِكُوا۟ hold بِعِصَمِ to marriage bonds ٱلْكَوَافِرِ (with) disbelieving women وَسْـَٔلُوا۟ but ask (for) مَآ what أَنفَقْتُمْ you have spent وَلْيَسْـَٔلُوا۟ and let them ask مَآ what أَنفَقُوا۟ ۚ they have spent ذَٰلِكُمْ That حُكْمُ (is the) Judgment ٱللَّهِ ۖ (of) Allah يَحْكُمُ He judges بَيْنَكُمْ ۚ between you وَٱللَّهُ And Allah عَلِيمٌ (is) All-Knowing حَكِيمٌۭ All-Wise ١٠

O you who have believed, when the believing women come to you as emigrants, examine [i.e., test] them. Allāh is most knowing as to their faith. And if you know them to be believers, then do not return them to the disbelievers; they are not lawful [wives] for them, nor are they lawful [husbands] for them. But give them [i.e., the disbelievers] what they have spent. And there is no blame upon you if you marry them when you have given them their due compensation [i.e., mahr]. And hold not to marriage bonds with disbelieving women, but ask for what you have spent and let them [i.e., the disbelievers] ask for what they have spent. That is the judgement of Allāh; He judges between you. And Allāh is Knowing and Wise.

وَإِن And if فَاتَكُمْ have gone from you شَىْءٌۭ any مِّنْ of أَزْوَٰجِكُمْ your wives إِلَى to ٱلْكُفَّارِ the disbelievers فَعَاقَبْتُمْ then your turn comes فَـَٔاتُوا۟ then give ٱلَّذِينَ (to) those who ذَهَبَتْ have gone أَزْوَٰجُهُم their wives مِّثْلَ (the) like مَآ (of) what أَنفَقُوا۟ ۚ they had spent وَٱتَّقُوا۟ And fear ٱللَّهَ Allah ٱلَّذِىٓ (in) Whom أَنتُم you بِهِۦ [in Him] مُؤْمِنُونَ (are) believers ١١

And if you have lost any of your wives to the disbelievers and you subsequently obtain [something], then give those whose wives have gone the equivalent of what they had spent. And fear Allāh, in whom you are believers.
