234. 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.

235. There is no blame on you if ye make an offer of betrothal or hold it in your hearts.
Allah knows that ye cherish them in your hearts: But do not make a secret contract with
them except in terms Honourable, nor resolve on the tie of marriage till the term
prescribed is fulfilled. And know that Allah Knoweth what is in your hearts, and take
heed of Him; and know that Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Forbearing.
