وَلِلْمُطَلَّقَاتِ مَتَاعٌ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ حَقًّا عَلَى الْمُتَّقِينَ {241}

241. "And for the divorced women make a provision according to a fair manner; (this is) a duty on the pious ones."

Commentary:

In this verse, the Qur'an has paid to another ordinance of the ordinances of divorce. It says;

"And for the divorced women make a provision according to a fair manner..."

The ordinance in this verse, similar to what was said in verse 236, is about the women whom are not appointed a dowry for at the time of wedlock, and they are divorced before any sexual intercourse.

This provision is a gift which is paid from the side of husband, and it is appreciated.

"... (this is) a duty on the pious ones."
