وَالَّذٖینَ یُتَوَفَّوْنَ مِنْكُمْ وَیَذَرُونَ اَزْوَاجًاۚ وَصِیَّةً لِاَزْوَاجِهِمْ مَتَاعًا اِلَى الْحَوْلِ غَیْرَ اِخْرَاجٍۚ فَاِنْ خَرَجْنَ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَیْكُمْ فٖی مَا فَعَلْنَ فٖٓی اَنْفُسِهِنَّ مِنْ مَعْرُوفٍؕ وَاللّٰهُ عَزٖیزٌ حَكٖیمٌ

Waallatheena yutawaffawna minkum wayatharoona azwajan wasiyyatan liazwajihim mataAAan ila alhawli ghayra ikhrajin fain kharajna fala junaha AAalaykum fee ma faAAalna fee anfusihinna min maAAroofin waAllahu AAazeezun hakeemun

Translations

And those who are taken in death among you and leave wives behind - for their wives is a bequest: maintenance for one year without turning [them] out. But if they leave [of their own accord], then there is no blame upon you for what they do with themselves in an acceptable way. And Allah is Exalted in Might and Wise

Saheeh International

(In the case of) those of you who are about to die and leave behind them wives, they should bequeath unto their wives a provision for the year without turning them out, but if they go out (of their own accord) there is no sin for you in that which they do of themselves within their rights. Allah is Mighty, Wise
