Surah Al-Baqarah (The Cow), Verse 236

لَا جُنَاحَ عَلَیْكُمْ اِنْ طَلَّقْتُمُ النِّسَآءَ مَا لَمْ تَمَسُّوْهُنَّ اَوْ تَفْرِضُوْا لَهُنَّ فَرِیْضَةً وَّمَتِّعُوْهُنَّ عَلَی الْمُوْسِعِ قَدَرُهٗ وَعَلَی الْمُقْتِرِ قَدَرُهٗ مَتَاعًا بِالْمَعْرُوْفِ حَقًّا عَلَی الْمُحْسِنِیْنَ ۟

Laa junaaha 'alaikum in tallaqtumun nisaaa'a maa lam tamassoohunna aw tafridoo lahunna fareedah; wa matti'hoohunna 'alal moosi'i qadaruhoo wa 'alal muqtiri qadaruhoo matta'am bilma'roofi haqqan 'alalmuhsineen

There is no blame on you if ye divorce women before consummation or the fixation of their dower; but bestow on them (A suitable gift), the wealthy according to his means, and the poor according to his means;- A gift of a reasonable amount is due from those who wish to do the right thing.
