وَلِلۡمُطَلَّقَٰتِ مَتَٰعُۢ بِٱلۡمَعۡرُوفِۖ حَقًّا عَلَى ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ

English TranslationSaheeh International

And for divorced women is a provision according to what is acceptable - a duty upon the righteous

Transliteration

Walilmutallaqati mataAAun bialmaAAroofi haqqan AAala almuttaqeena

Tafsir Al-Jalalayn Explanation

There shall be provision for divorced women, which they are given, honourably, as is feasible — an obligation (haqqan, ‘obligation’, is in the accusative because it is governed by an implied verb) on those who fear God, may He be exalted. He has repeated the phrase in order to include the woman that has been touched [sexually], since the previous verse addresses a different issue.
