The Holy Quran 65:7 — Surah At-Talaq

Arabic text

لِيُنفِقْ ذُو سَعَةٍ مِّن سَعَتِهِۦ ۖ وَمَن قُدِرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقُهُۥ فَلْيُنفِقْ مِمَّآ ءَاتَىٰهُ ٱللَّهُ ۚ لَا يُكَلِّفُ ٱللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا مَآ ءَاتَىٰهَا ۚ سَيَجْعَلُ ٱللَّهُ بَعْدَ عُسْرٍ يُسْرًا

Translation

The wealthy person (man) should spend (pay maintenance for his ex-wife during her Iddah and/or his child) according to his means. As for the one whose means are restricted, he should spend from what Allaah has given him (as much as he can afford). Allaah does not burden a soul with more than He has given it. (No one is required to spend beyond his means.) Allaah shall soon create ease after difficulty. (When a person spends in good causes, he should never fear that his wealth will diminish.)

Tafsir (excerpt) — التفسير الميسر

لينفق الزوج مما وسَّع الله عليه على زوجته المطلقة، وعلى ولده إذا كان الزوج ذا سَعَة في الرزق، ومن ضُيِّق عليه في الرزق وهو الفقير، فلينفق مما أعطاه الله من الرزق، لا يُكَلَّف الفقير مثل ما يُكَلَّف الغني، سيجعل الله بعد ضيق وشدة سَعَة وغنى.
