وَالَّذِیْنَ یُتَوَفَّوْنَ مِنْكُمْ وَیَذَرُوْنَ اَزْوَاجًا یَّتَرَبَّصْنَ بِاَنْفُسِهِنَّ اَرْبَعَةَ اَشْهُرٍ وَّعَشْرًا فَاِذَا بَلَغْنَ اَجَلَهُنَّ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَیْكُمْ فِیْمَا فَعَلْنَ فِیْۤ اَنْفُسِهِنَّ بِالْمَعْرُوْفِ وَاللّٰهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ خَبِیْرٌ ۟

If any of you die and leave widows behind, they shall wait concerning themselves four months and ten days: When they have fulfilled their term, there is no blame on you if they dispose of themselves in a just and reasonable manner. And Allah is well acquainted with what ye do.
