65:1

یَٓا اَیُّهَا النَّبِیُّ اِذَا طَلَّقْتُمُ النِّسَٓاءَ فَطَلِّقُوهُنَّ لِعِدَّتِهِنَّ وَاَحْصُوا الْعِدَّةَۚ وَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ رَبَّكُمْۚ لَا تُخْرِجُوهُنَّ مِنْ بُیُوتِهِنَّ وَلَا یَخْرُجْنَ اِلَّٓا اَنْ یَاْتٖینَ بِفَاحِشَةٍ مُبَیِّنَةٍؕ وَتِلْكَ حُدُودُ اللّٰهِؕ وَمَنْ یَتَعَدَّ حُدُودَ اللّٰهِ فَقَدْ ظَلَمَ نَفْسَهُؕ لَا تَدْرٖی لَعَلَّ اللّٰهَ یُحْدِثُ بَعْدَ ذٰلِكَ اَمْرًا

Translations

O Prophet, when you [Muslims] divorce women, divorce them for [the commencement of] their waiting period and keep count of the waiting period, and fear Allah, your Lord. Do not turn them out of their [husbands'] houses, nor should they [themselves] leave [during that period] unless they are committing a clear immorality. And those are the limits [set by] Allah. And whoever transgresses the limits of Allah has certainly wronged himself. You know not; perhaps Allah will bring about after that a [different] matter

Saheeh International

O Prophet! When ye (men) put away women, put them away for their (legal) period and reckon the period, and keep your duty to Allah, your Lord. Expel them not from their houses nor let them go forth unless they commit open immorality. Such are the limits (imposed by) Allah; and whoso transgresseth Allah's limits, he verily wrongeth his soul. Thou knowest not: it may be that Allah will afterward bring some new thing to pass
