An-Nisa 4:19 يا ايها الذين امنوا لا يحل لكم ان ترثوا النساء كرها ولا تعضلوهن لتذهبوا ببعض ما اتيتموهن الا ان ياتين بفاحشة مبينة وعاشروهن بالمعروف فان كرهتموهن فعسى ان تكرهوا شييا ويجعل الله فيه خيرا كثيرا ١٩
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا
ٱلَّذِينَ
ءَامَنُواْ
لَا
يَحِلُّ
لَكُمۡ
أَن
تَرِثُواْ
ٱلنِّسَآءَ
كَرۡهٗاۖ
وَلَا
تَعۡضُلُوهُنَّ
لِتَذۡهَبُواْ
بِبَعۡضِ
مَآ
ءَاتَيۡتُمُوهُنَّ
إِلَّآ
أَن
يَأۡتِينَ
بِفَٰحِشَةٖ
مُّبَيِّنَةٖۚ
وَعَاشِرُوهُنَّ
بِٱلۡمَعۡرُوفِۚ
فَإِن
كَرِهۡتُمُوهُنَّ
فَعَسَىٰٓ
أَن
تَكۡرَهُواْ
شَيۡـٔٗا
وَيَجۡعَلَ
ٱللَّهُ
فِيهِ
خَيۡرٗا
كَثِيرٗا
