“And unto you belongeth a half of that which your wives leave, if they have no child; but if they have a child then unto you the fourth of that which they leave, after any legacy they may have bequeathed, or debt (they may have contracted, hath been paid). And unto them belongeth the fourth of that which ye leave if ye have no child, but if ye have a child then the eighth of that which ye leave, after any legacy ye may have bequeathed, or debt (ye may have contracted, hath been paid).

after their death, of their wealth and inheritance—

27
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,680
if they do not have a child on the day they die.

28
00:02:07,239 --> 00:02:09,639
But if your wives have, on the day of death,

29
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:11,800
a child—whether male or female—

30
00:02:12,199 --> 00:02:14,240
“And unto you belongeth a half of that which your wives leave, if they have no child; but if they have a child then unto you the fourth of that which they leave, after any legacy they may have bequeathed, or debt (they may have contracted, hath been paid).

A commandment from Allah. Allah is Knower, Indulgent.” (4:12)

31
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:15,800
of wealth and inheritance,

32
00:02:16,199 --> 00:02:19,439
that share is yours after the settlement of their debts

33
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,800
and after the execution of their permissible bequests,

34
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:24,520
if they have made any such bequest.

35
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,000
And to your wives, O people, belongs

36
00:02:27,039 --> 00:02:29,479
a fourth of what you leave after your death,

37
00:02:29,479 --> 00:02:30,960
of wealth and inheritance,

38
00:02:31,479 --> 00:02:33,960
if death comes to one of you

39
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,719
and he has no child, male or female.

40
00:02:37,439 --> 00:02:39,879
But if death comes to one of you

41
00:02:39,879 --> 00:02:42,280
and he leaves a child, male or female—

42
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,199
whether the child is one or more—

43
00:02:45,719 --> 00:02:49,120
then your wives shall receive an eighth of your wealth,

44
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,560
after the settlement of your debts

45
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,800
and after the execution of your permissible bequests

46
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,479
that you have made.

47
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,280
"And if a man or a woman..."

48
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,240
whose inheritance is left to distant relatives (kalalah)...

49
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,439
The kalalah are those who inherit from the deceased

50
00:03:04,439 --> 00:03:06,439
other than his children or parents.

51
00:03:07,159 --> 00:03:09,759
And if the man whose inheritance is left as kalalah has

52
00:03:09,759 --> 00:03:11,759
a brother or a sister from his mother's side,

53
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,599
then each one of them receives a sixth.

54
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,439
Thus, if the maternal brother or sister is alone,

55
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,039
but if a brother and a sister are combined,

56
00:03:21,439 --> 00:03:24,560
or two maternal brothers with no third,

57
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,400
or two maternal sisters likewise,

58
00:03:27,039 --> 00:03:30,240
then each of them receives from the inheritance of their maternal sibling

59
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:31,759
a sixth share,

60
00:03:32,539 --> 00:03:36,259
and if the maternal brothers and sisters of the deceased leaving the kalalah

61
00:03:36,259 --> 00:03:38,500
are more than two,

62
00:03:39,060 --> 00:03:40,900
“And unto you belongeth a half of that which your wives leave, if they have no child; but if they have a child then unto you the fourth of that which they leave, after any legacy they may have bequeathed, or debt (they may have contracted, hath been paid). And unto them belongeth the fourth of that which ye leave if ye have no child, but if ye have a child then the eighth of that which ye leave, after any legacy ye may have bequeathed, or debt (ye may have contracted, hath been paid). And if a man or a woman have a distant heir (having left neither parent nor child), and he (or she) have a brother or a sister (only on the mother's side) then to each of them twain (the brother and the sister) the sixth, and if they be more than two, then they shall be sharers in the third, after any legacy that may have been bequeathed or debt (contracted) not injuring (the heirs by willing away more than a third of the heritage) hath been paid. A commandment from Allah. Allah is Knower, Indulgent.” (4:12)

63
00:03:41,500 --> 00:03:44,020
this is after the settlement of the deceased's debts

64
00:03:44,539 --> 00:03:46,979
and after the execution of his permissible bequests

65
00:03:46,979 --> 00:03:49,180
that he made during his lifetime,

66
00:03:49,860 --> 00:03:53,099
without causing harm to his heirs regarding their inheritance from him.

67
00:03:53,860 --> 00:03:55,780
This is a covenant from Allah to you

68
00:03:55,819 --> 00:03:59,099
regarding what is due to you of the inheritance of those among you who die.

69
00:03:59,860 --> 00:04:03,620
And Allah is All-Knowing of what benefits or harms His creation,

70
00:04:04,139 --> 00:04:07,219
and of who should receive inheritance and who should be deprived of it,

71
00:04:07,659 --> 00:04:10,139
as well as all other affairs of His servants;

72
00:04:10,860 --> 00:04:12,379
He is Most Forbearing toward His creation,

73
00:04:12,939 --> 00:04:16,540
patient in withholding immediate punishment

74
00:04:16,540 --> 00:04:18,740
for their oppression of one another.

75
00:04:19,629 --> 00:04:22,470
"These are the limits set by Allah..."

76
00:04:22,910 --> 00:04:29,910
"...and whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger, He will admit him to Gardens..."

77
00:04:30,470 --> 00:04:37,430
"...will admit him to Gardens beneath which rivers flow,"

78
00:04:37,430 --> 00:04:39,550
"...abiding eternally therein,"

79
00:04:40,069 --> 00:04:43,189
"...and that is the supreme success."

80
00:04:44,410 --> 00:04:47,569
This division is what your Lord has apportioned for you;

81
00:04:48,170 --> 00:04:51,850
these are distinct limits by which He demarcates obedience to Allah from disobedience to Him

82
00:04:52,290 --> 00:04:54,769
regarding the distribution of the inheritances of your deceased.

83
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:59,399
And whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger by acting upon what He commanded

84
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:04,600
and adhering to the limits set for him in the division of inheritance and other matters,

85
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:09,160
Allah will admit him into gardens beneath whose trees rivers flow,

86
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:14,199
remaining therein forever, never dying and never perishing;

87
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,360
and Allah's admitting them into the Gardens

88
00:05:17,639 --> 00:05:19,279
is the supreme success.

89
00:05:20,660 --> 00:05:28,540
“And whoso disobeyeth Allah and His messenger and transgresseth His limits, He will make him enter Fire, where he will dwell for ever; his will be a shameful doom.” (4:14)

90
00:05:29,060 --> 00:05:37,100
“And whoso disobeyeth Allah and His messenger and transgresseth His limits, He will make him enter Fire, where he will dwell for ever; his will be a shameful doom.” (4:14)

91
00:05:38,500 --> 00:05:42,420
And whoever disobey Allah and His Messenger by failing to act upon what they commanded

92
00:05:42,939 --> 00:05:46,699
regarding the distribution of inheritance and other obligatory duties set by Allah,

93
00:05:47,180 --> 00:05:52,779
and transcends the boundaries of His obedience that He established as a dividing line against disobedience,

94
00:05:53,420 --> 00:05:56,420
Allah will admit him into a Fire, abiding therein forever,

95
00:05:56,860 --> 00:05:59,259
and he will suffer a humiliating punishment.

96
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:16,000
“As for those of your women who are guilty of lewdness, call to witness four of you against them. And if they testify (to the truth of the allegation) then confine them to the houses until death take them or (until) Allah appoint for them a way (through new legislation).” (4:15)

97
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:25,800
“As for those of your women who are guilty of lewdness, call to witness four of you against them. And if they testify (to the truth of the allegation) then confine them to the houses until death take them or (until) Allah appoint for them a way (through new legislation).” (4:15)

98
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:34,720
“As for those of your women who are guilty of lewdness, call to witness four of you against them. And if they testify (to the truth of the allegation) then confine them to the houses until death take them or (until) Allah appoint for them a way (through new legislation).” (4:15)

99
00:06:36,029 --> 00:06:39,069
"And those of your women who commit illegal sexual intercourse..."

100
00:06:39,589 --> 00:06:44,350
whether they are chaste married women or unmarried,

101
00:06:44,910 --> 00:06:51,029
"...call against them four male witnesses from among you..." testifying to their immorality.

102
00:06:51,709 --> 00:06:56,430
"...And if they testify, confine the women in houses until death takes them,"

103
00:06:56,949 --> 00:07:03,029
"...or Allah ordains for them a way out" and a path to escape from what they committed of immorality.

104
00:07:04,180 --> 00:07:09,459
"And those two among you who commit it, punish them both..."

105
00:07:09,779 --> 00:07:15,459
“And as for the two of you who are guilty thereof, punish them both. And if they repent and improve, then let them be. Lo! Allah is ever relenting, Merciful.” (4:16)

106
00:07:15,939 --> 00:07:21,300
“And as for the two of you who are guilty thereof, punish them both. And if they repent and improve, then let them be. Lo! Allah is ever relenting, Merciful.” (4:16)

107
00:07:22,740 --> 00:07:25,779
Namely, the unmarried man and woman,

108
00:07:26,339 --> 00:07:31,740
who commit immorality while being Muslims, so punish them both.

109
00:07:32,379 --> 00:07:37,420
Punishment (adha) includes all forms of hardship, whether by harsh words of the tongue or by physical action.

110
00:07:37,980 --> 00:07:43,500
Allah subsequently abrogated this ruling with the legal prescriptions He rendered obligatory upon His servants in Surah al-Nur.

111
00:07:44,139 --> 00:07:47,339
"And if they repent" from immorality "and reform" their religious practice,

112
00:07:47,860 --> 00:07:50,740
"then turn away from them" and cease harming them.

113
00:07:51,459 --> 00:07:55,740
Indeed, Allah is ever accepting of His servants' return to what He loves,

114
00:07:56,220 --> 00:07:58,899
whenever they return to what He loves of His obedience;

115
00:07:59,459 --> 00:08:01,100
He is full of mercy and compassion.

116
00:08:07,579 --> 00:08:10,540
"...evil out of ignorance..."

117
00:08:11,259 --> 00:08:15,740
“Forgiveness is only incumbent on Allah toward those who do evil in ignorance (and) then turn quickly (in repentance) to Allah. These are they toward whom Allah relenteth. Allah is ever Knower, Wise.” (4:17)

118
00:08:16,540 --> 00:08:19,579
"...and then repent..."

119
00:08:20,459 --> 00:08:24,699
“Forgiveness is only incumbent on Allah toward those who do evil in ignorance (and) then turn quickly (in repentance) to Allah. These are they toward whom Allah relenteth. Allah is ever Knower, Wise.” (4:17)

120
00:08:25,420 --> 00:08:29,420
“Forgiveness is only incumbent on Allah toward those who do evil in ignorance (and) then turn quickly (in repentance) to Allah. These are they toward whom Allah relenteth. Allah is ever Knower, Wise.” (4:17)

121
00:08:30,220 --> 00:08:33,500
"...And Allah was ever Knowing and Wise."

122
00:08:35,049 --> 00:08:37,690
The repentance accepted by Allah is not for any of His creation

123
00:08:38,090 --> 00:08:43,049
except those who commit whatever sins they commit out of ignorance,

124
00:08:43,610 --> 00:08:48,570
whether they intended the sin or were unaware of what Allah has prepared for those who commit it;

125
00:08:49,129 --> 00:08:50,970
thus, it is an act performed in the manner of the ignorant.

126
00:08:51,690 --> 00:08:55,289
Then they return to the obedience of Allah before their death,

127
00:08:55,929 --> 00:08:59,850
so to those Allah grants guidance to return to His obedience.

128
00:09:00,570 --> 00:09:05,850
Allah has ever been Knowing of His servants who turn back to Him in obedience

129
00:09:06,330 --> 00:09:08,649
and of all other affairs of His creation,

130
00:09:09,210 --> 00:09:11,929
Wise in accepting the repentance of whoever repents,

131
00:09:12,490 --> 00:09:15,690
and in all other aspects of His management and decree.

132
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:21,720
“The forgiveness is not for those who do ill-deeds until, when death attendeth upon one of them, he saith: Lo! I repent now; nor yet for those who die while they are disbelievers. For such We have prepared a painful doom.” (4:18)

133
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:25,559
“The forgiveness is not for those who do ill-deeds until, when death attendeth upon one of them, he saith: Lo! I repent now; nor yet for those who die while they are disbelievers. For such We have prepared a painful doom.” (4:18)

134
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,799
“The forgiveness is not for those who do ill-deeds until, when death attendeth upon one of them, he saith: Lo! I repent now; nor yet for those who die while they are disbelievers. For such We have prepared a painful doom.” (4:18)

135
00:09:29,799 --> 00:09:33,320
“The forgiveness is not for those who do ill-deeds until, when death attendeth upon one of them, he saith: Lo! I repent now; nor yet for those who die while they are disbelievers. For such We have prepared a painful doom.” (4:18)

136
00:09:33,879 --> 00:09:37,559
“The forgiveness is not for those who do ill-deeds until, when death attendeth upon one of them, he saith: Lo! I repent now; nor yet for those who die while they are disbelievers. For such We have prepared a painful doom.” (4:18)

137
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:42,120
"...nor for those who die while they are disbelievers."

138
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:49,000
“The forgiveness is not for those who do ill-deeds until, when death attendeth upon one of them, he saith: Lo! I repent now; nor yet for those who die while they are disbelievers. For such We have prepared a painful doom.” (4:18)

139
00:09:50,299 --> 00:09:56,139
Repentance is not accepted for those who persist in bad deeds from among those who insist on disobeying Allah,

140
00:09:56,779 --> 00:09:59,500
until when death reaches one of them,

141
00:09:59,980 --> 00:10:03,019
and he beholds the angels of his Lord coming to take his soul,

142
00:10:03,500 --> 00:10:05,500
“The forgiveness is not for those who do ill-deeds until, when death attendeth upon one of them, he saith: Lo! I repent now; nor yet for those who die while they are disbelievers. For such We have prepared a painful doom.” (4:18)

143
00:10:06,059 --> 00:10:08,539
such a person has no repentance accepted with Allah.

144
00:10:09,299 --> 00:10:12,580
Nor is repentance for those who die while they are disbelievers;

145
00:10:13,139 --> 00:10:17,299
for those We have prepared a painful and agonizing punishment.

146
00:10:18,220 --> 00:10:27,820
“O ye who believe! It is not lawful for you forcibly to inherit the women (of your deceased kinsmen), nor (that) ye should put constraint upon them that ye may take away a part of that which ye have given them, unless they be guilty of flagrant lewdness. But consort with them in kindness, for if ye hate them it may happen that ye hate a thing wherein Allah hath placed much good.” (4:19)

147
00:10:28,299 --> 00:10:35,659
"...and do not treat them harshly in order to take back part of what you gave them..."

148
00:10:35,659 --> 00:10:45,740
"...unless they commit a clear immorality."

149
00:10:45,740 --> 00:10:50,460
"...And live with them in kindness..."

150
00:10:50,460 --> 00:10:57,500
"...for if you dislike them, it may be that you dislike a thing..."

151
00:10:57,820 --> 00:11:06,779
“O ye who believe! It is not lawful for you forcibly to inherit the women (of your deceased kinsmen), nor (that) ye should put constraint upon them that ye may take away a part of that which ye have given them, unless they be guilty of flagrant lewdness. But consort with them in kindness, for if ye hate them it may happen that ye hate a thing wherein Allah hath placed much good.” (4:19)

152
00:11:08,379 --> 00:11:11,419
O you who have believed Allah and His Messenger,

153
00:11:12,059 --> 00:11:17,580
it is not lawful for you to inherit the marriage of the women of your relatives and fathers against their will;

154
00:11:18,139 --> 00:11:22,620
nor is it lawful for you, O believers, to confine your wives

155
00:11:23,100 --> 00:11:28,220
and bring hardship upon them, withholding their lawful provision and clothing,

156
00:11:28,860 --> 00:11:32,779
in order to take away part of the bridal gift (mahr) you gave them,

157
00:11:33,340 --> 00:11:38,700
unless they commit a clear immorality, such as adultery or verbal abuse against you,

158
00:11:39,179 --> 00:11:42,779
that is manifest and evident to people as an immorality;

159
00:11:43,340 --> 00:11:47,340
in that case, it becomes lawful for you to treat them harshly and restrict them

160
00:11:47,820 --> 00:11:49,259
so that they may ransom themselves from you,

161
00:11:49,740 --> 00:11:53,340
enabling you to take back part of the dowry you gave them.

162
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:58,679
And treat your wives well, O men, and companion them in kindness,

163
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,759
by fulfilling their rights that Allah has made obligatory for them.

164
00:12:03,399 --> 00:12:06,759
And you may dislike them yet retain them in marriage,

165
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,320
for it may be that you dislike a thing

166
00:12:09,799 --> 00:12:15,320
and Allah places much good in your retaining them despite your dislike—

167
00:12:15,799 --> 00:12:17,799
such as a child He grants you through them,

168
00:12:18,279 --> 00:12:21,240
or your affection returning to them after your initial dislike,

169
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:25,159
thus Allah places abundant good in her offspring.

170
00:12:52,740 --> 00:12:58,820
And if you desire, O believers, to marry a woman in place of a wife whom you divorce,

171
00:12:59,299 --> 00:13:04,259
and you have given the one you intend to divorce a great sum of wealth as dowry,

172
00:13:04,740 --> 00:13:11,059
do not harm them when you intend to divorce them so that they ransom themselves with what you gave them.

173
00:13:11,620 --> 00:13:17,460
Do you take back what you gave them of their dowries unjustly, without right, and sinfully?

174
00:13:18,019 --> 00:13:21,379
The ruling has made it clear that whoever takes it back is an oppressor.

175
00:13:22,250 --> 00:13:37,370
“How can ye take it (back) after one of you hath gone in unto the other, and they have taken a strong pledge from you?” (4:21)

176
00:13:38,710 --> 00:13:44,389
On what basis would you take back from your wives what you gave them as dowries

177
00:13:44,950 --> 00:13:49,590
when you intend to divorce them and replace them with other wives,

178
00:13:50,070 --> 00:13:55,669
seeing that you have been intimate with one another through intercourse, physical touch, and embrace,

179
00:13:56,389 --> 00:14:04,149
and they have taken from you a solemn covenant through the pledge and solemn undertaking you made to them,

180
00:14:04,549 --> 00:14:08,950
either to retain them in kindness or release them in an honorable manner?

181
00:14:09,509 --> 00:14:13,509
Although this statement is phrased in the form of an interrogative,

182
00:14:14,149 --> 00:14:16,870
its intended meaning is disapproval and stern rebuke,

183
00:14:17,429 --> 00:14:19,429
just as a man says to another:

184
00:14:20,070 --> 00:14:23,590
"How can you do such and such when I do not approve of it?"

185
00:14:24,230 --> 00:14:26,470
expressed by way of warning and threat.

186
00:14:27,350 --> 00:14:30,149
This verse is decisive (muhkam) and not abrogated,

187
00:14:30,789 --> 00:14:36,470
and it is unlawful for a man to take anything of what he gave her if he wishes to divorce her,

188
00:14:36,950 --> 00:14:41,029
provided there was no willful misconduct (nushuz) on her part or any cause for grave suspicion.

189
00:14:42,019 --> 00:14:52,100
“And marry not those women whom your fathers married, except what hath already happened (of that nature) in the past. Lo! it was ever lewdness and abomination, and an evil way.” (4:22)

190
00:14:52,820 --> 00:15:01,539
"...Indeed, it was an immorality, an abomination, and an evil way."

191
00:15:03,110 --> 00:15:07,269
And do not marry those women whom your fathers married,

192
00:15:07,750 --> 00:15:11,429
except what has already passed during the era of ignorance (Jahiliyyah).

193
00:15:12,070 --> 00:15:14,070
Indeed, your practice that occurred in the past—

194
00:15:14,629 --> 00:15:19,110
initiating the likes of it in Islam after it has been prohibited to you—

195
00:15:19,590 --> 00:15:22,470
is a sin, a wretched path, and an evil practice.

196
00:15:23,419 --> 00:15:29,899
It was mentioned that this verse was revealed concerning people who used to succeed their fathers in marrying their fathers' wives;

197
00:15:30,620 --> 00:15:33,100
when Islam came, they were still engaged in this practice,

198
00:15:33,899 --> 00:15:37,980
so Allah, Blessed and Exalted, prohibited them from remaining in those marriages,

199
00:15:38,779 --> 00:15:44,620
and He pardoned them for what had passed during their Jahiliyyah and polytheism regarding this act,

200
00:15:45,259 --> 00:15:50,539
holding them unpunished for it, as he who fears Allah upon embracing Islam and obeys Him therein is forgiven.

201
00:16:03,450 --> 00:16:06,090
“Forbidden unto you are your mothers, and your daughters, and your sisters, and your father's sisters, and your mother's sisters, and your brother's daughters and your sister's daughters, and your foster-mothers, and your foster-sisters, and your mothers-in-law, and your step-daughters who are under your protection (born) of your women unto whom ye have gone in - but if ye have not gone in unto them, then it is no sin for you (to marry their daughters) - and the wives of your sons who (spring) from your own loins. And (it is forbidden unto you) that ye should have two sisters together, except what hath already happened (of that nature) in the past. Lo! Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.” (4:23)

202
00:16:06,970 --> 00:16:14,970
"...and your milk mothers and your milk sisters..."

203
00:16:15,769 --> 00:16:21,610
"...and the mothers of your wives, and your stepdaughters..."

204
00:16:22,330 --> 00:16:31,049
"...and your stepdaughters under your guardianship born of your wives..."

205
00:16:31,769 --> 00:16:50,169
“Forbidden unto you are your mothers, and your daughters, and your sisters, and your father's sisters, and your mother's sisters, and your brother's daughters and your sister's daughters, and your foster-mothers, and your foster-sisters, and your mothers-in-law, and your step-daughters who are under your protection (born) of your women unto whom ye have gone in - but if ye have not gone in unto them, then it is no sin for you (to marry their daughters) - and the wives of your sons who (spring) from your own loins. And (it is forbidden unto you) that ye should have two sisters together, except what hath already happened (of that nature) in the past. Lo! Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.” (4:23)

206
00:16:50,889 --> 00:16:58,330
“Forbidden unto you are your mothers, and your daughters, and your sisters, and your father's sisters, and your mother's sisters, and your brother's daughters and your sister's daughters, and your foster-mothers, and your foster-sisters, and your mothers-in-law, and your step-daughters who are under your protection (born) of your women unto whom ye have gone in - but if ye have not gone in unto them, then it is no sin for you (to marry their daughters) - and the wives of your sons who (spring) from your own loins. And (it is forbidden unto you) that ye should have two sisters together, except what hath already happened (of that nature) in the past. Lo! Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.” (4:23)

207
00:16:58,330 --> 00:17:10,410
“Forbidden unto you are your mothers, and your daughters, and your sisters, and your father's sisters, and your mother's sisters, and your brother's daughters and your sister's daughters, and your foster-mothers, and your foster-sisters, and your mothers-in-law, and your step-daughters who are under your protection (born) of your women unto whom ye have gone in - but if ye have not gone in unto them, then it is no sin for you (to marry their daughters) - and the wives of your sons who (spring) from your own loins. And (it is forbidden unto you) that ye should have two sisters together, except what hath already happened (of that nature) in the past. Lo! Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.” (4:23)

208
00:17:29,049 --> 00:17:43,529
"...but if you have not consummated marriage with the mothers of your stepdaughters, there is no sin upon you in marrying your stepdaughters..."

209
00:17:44,329 --> 00:17:47,609
"...and the wives of your sons who are from your own loins..."

210
00:17:48,329 --> 00:17:54,410
"...and that you gather two sisters together in marriage, except what has already passed..."

211
00:17:54,410 --> 00:18:03,690
"...Indeed, Allah is ever Forgiving of the sins of His servants when they repent, Most Merciful to them and to all those who obey Him."
