ٱلطَّلَٰقُ مَرَّتَانِ ۖ فَإِمْسَاكٌۢ بِمَعْرُوفٍ أَوْ تَسْرِيحٌۢ بِإِحْسَٰنٍۢ ۗ وَلَا يَحِلُّ لَكُمْ أَن تَأْخُذُوا۟ مِمَّآ ءَاتَيْتُمُوهُنَّ شَيْـًٔا إِلَّآ أَن يَخَافَآ أَلَّا يُقِيمَا حُدُودَ ٱللَّهِ ۖ فَإِنْ خِفْتُمْ أَلَّا يُقِيمَا حُدُودَ ٱللَّهِ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِمَا فِيمَا ٱفْتَدَتْ بِهِۦ ۗ تِلْكَ حُدُودُ ٱللَّهِ فَلَا تَعْتَدُوهَا ۚ وَمَن يَتَعَدَّ حُدُودَ ٱللَّهِ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلظَّٰلِمُونَ

Muhammad Hamidullah · Le Saint Coran, traduction Muhammad Hamidullah

Le divorce est permis pour seulement deux fois. Alors, c'est soit la reprise conformément à la bienséance, ou la libération avec gentillesse. Et il ne vous est pas permis de reprendre quoi que ce soit de ce que vous leur aviez donné, - à moins que tous deux ne craignent de ne point pouvoir se conformer aux ordres imposés par Allah. Si donc vous craignez que tous deux ne puissent se conformer aux ordres d'Allah, alors ils ne commettent aucun péché si la femme se rachète avec quelque bien. Voilà les ordres d'Allah. Ne les transgressez donc pas. Et ceux qui transgressent les ordres d'Allah ceux-là sont les injustes.

Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall · The Meaning of the Glorious Koran (1930)

Divorce must be pronounced twice and then (a woman) must be retained in honour or released in kindness. And it is not lawful for you that ye take from women aught of that which ye have given them; except (in the case) when both fear that they may not be able to keep within the limits (imposed by) Allah. And if ye fear that they may not be able to keep the limits of Allah, in that case it is no sin for either of them if the woman ransom herself. These are the limits (imposed by) Allah. Transgress them not. For whoso transgresseth Allah's limits: such are wrong-doers.
