لَا جُنَاحَ عَلَیْكُمْ اِنْ طَلَّقْتُمُ النِّسَآءَ مَا لَمْ تَمَسُّوْهُنَّ اَوْ تَفْرِضُوْا لَهُنَّ فَرِیْضَةً ۚۖ-وَّ مَتِّعُوْهُنَّۚ-عَلَى الْمُوْسِعِ قَدَرُهٗ وَ عَلَى الْمُقْتِرِ قَدَرُهٗۚ-مَتَاعًۢا بِالْمَعْرُوْفِۚ-حَقًّا عَلَى الْمُحْسِنِیْنَ(236)

English translation of Kanz-ul-Irfan

If you divorce women, there is no demand on you as long as you have not touched them or you have not specified a bridal gift (mahr) for them;[1] and provide for them ˹one complete dress˺. It is incumbent upon the rich man to give according to his capability and the poor man to give according to his capability. Give them benefit in accordance with the Shari‘ah;[2] this is incumbent upon those who do good.

Commentary

[1]

This verse ordains a few rulings about bridal gifts. (See Tafsīr Ṣirāṭ al-Jinān for more details.)

[2]

These verses highlights the importance of Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh), as it not only relates the rulings of acts of worship (ʿIbādāt), but also addresses financial and civil matters (muʿāmalāt) such as trade, marriage, divorce, and inheritance.
