Such of your women as have passed the age of monthly courses, for them the prescribed period, if ye have any doubts, is three months, and for those who have no courses (it is the same): for those who carry (life within their wombs), their period is until they deliver their burdens: and for those who fear Allah, He will make their path easy.

Let the women live (in 'iddat) in the same style as ye live, according to your means: Annoy them not, so as to restrict them. And if they carry (life in their wombs), then spend (your substance) on them until they deliver their burden: and if they suckle your (offspring), give them their recompense: and take mutual counsel together, according to what is just and reasonable. And if ye find yourselves in difficulties, let another woman suckle (the child) on the (father's) behalf.

你们的妇女中对月经已绝望的，如果你们怀疑，就以三个月为她们的待婚期，还没有月经的，也是这样的；怀孕的，以分娩为满期。谁敬畏真主，他将使谁顺利。

你们当依自己的能力而使她们住在你们所住的地方，你们不要妨害她们，而使她们烦闷。如果她们有孕，你们就应当供给她们，直到她们分娩。如果她们为你们哺乳，你们应当报酬她们，并且应当依正义而相商。如果你们的意见不合，就让别的妇人为他哺乳。
