لَا جُنَاحَ عَلَیْكُمْ اِنْ طَلَّقْتُمُ النِّسَٓاءَ مَا لَمْ تَمَسُّوهُنَّ اَوْ تَفْرِضُوا لَهُنَّ فَرٖیضَةًۚ وَمَتِّعُوهُنَّۚ عَلَى الْمُوسِعِ قَدَرُهُ وَعَلَى الْمُقْتِرِ قَدَرُهُۚ مَتَاعًا بِالْمَعْرُوفِۚ حَقًّا عَلَى الْمُحْسِنٖینَ

Translations

There is no blame upon you if you divorce women you have not touched nor specified for them an obligation. But give them [a gift of] compensation - the wealthy according to his capability and the poor according to his capability - a provision according to what is acceptable, a duty upon the doers of good

Saheeh International

It is no sin for you if ye divorce women while yet ye have not touched them, nor appointed unto them a portion. Provide for them, the rich according to his means, and the straitened according to his means, a fair provision. (This is) a bounden duty for those who do good
