An-Nisaa— The Women
O mankind, fear your Lord, who created you from one soul and created from it its mate and dispersed from both of them many men and women. And fear Allāh, through whom[1] you ask one another,[2] and the wombs.[3] Indeed Allāh is ever,[4] over you, an Observer.[5]
And give to the orphans their properties and do not substitute the defective [of your own] for the good [of theirs]. And do not consume their properties into your own. Indeed, that is ever a great sin.
And if you fear that you will not deal justly with the orphan girls, then marry those that please you of [other] women, two or three or four. But if you fear that you will not be just, then [marry only] one or those your right hands possess [i.e., slaves]. That is more suitable that you may not incline [to injustice].
And give the women [upon marriage] their [bridal] gifts[1] graciously. But if they give up willingly to you anything of it, then take it in satisfaction and ease.[2]
And do not give the weak-minded your property,[1] which Allāh has made a means of sustenance for you, but provide for them with it and clothe them and speak to them words of appropriate kindness.
