2.231

وَ اِذَا طَلَّقْتُمُ النِّسَآءَ فَبَلَغْنَ اَجَلَهُنَّ فَاَمْسِكُوْهُنَّ بِمَعْرُوْفٍ اَوْ سَرِّحُوْهُنَّ بِمَعْرُوْفٍ ۪-وَّ لَا تُمْسِكُوْهُنَّ ضِرَارًا لِّتَعْتَدُوْاۚ-وَ مَنْ یَّفْعَلْ ذٰلِكَ فَقَدْ ظَلَمَ نَفْسَهٗؕ-وَ لَا تَتَّخِذُوْۤا اٰیٰتِ اللّٰهِ هُزُوًا٘-وَّ اذْكُرُوْا نِعْمَتَ اللّٰهِ عَلَیْكُمْ وَ مَاۤ اَنْزَلَ عَلَیْكُمْ مِّنَ الْكِتٰبِ وَ الْحِكْمَةِ یَعِظُكُمْ بِهٖؕ-وَ اتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ وَ اعْلَمُوْۤا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ بِكُلِّ شَیْءٍ عَلِیْمٌ۠ٝ (231)

Kanz ul Iman Kanz ul Irfan

English translation of Kanz-ul-Imaan

And when you divorce women and their prescribed period (i.e. 'Iddah) is close to completion, so either keep them on good terms within this period or release them with kindness. And keeping them should not be for the purpose of hurting them, that you may transgress the limits; and he who does so harms himself only. And do not make the verses of Allah an object of mockery, and remember the favour of Allah bestowed upon you and that (favour) sent down to you; the Book (i.e. the Qur'aan) and wisdom (i.e. the Sunnah) for your guidance. And keep fearing Allah, and know that Allah knows everything.

Commentary

The divorced woman has the option of reunion or separation before her sitting period ends. However, for a man, it is not permissible to use this right to oppress her; whosoever does this oppresses himself, and it is as if he is mocking the verses of Allah. People who oppress wives and oppose the Shari‘ah should remember that even if people are unaware, Allah Almighty certainly knows the truth; Man will indeed answer to Allah Almighty.
