Do Not Evict The Divorcees Out Of Your Homes
وَإِذَا طَلَّقۡتُمُ ٱلنِّسَآءَ فَبَلَغۡنَ أَجَلَهُنَّ فَأَمۡسِكُوهُنَّ بِمَعۡرُوفٍ أَوۡ سَرِّحُوهُنَّ بِمَعۡرُوفٍ۬ۚ وَلَا تُمۡسِكُوهُنَّ ضِرَارً۬ا لِّتَعۡتَدُواْۚ وَمَن يَفۡعَلۡ ذَٲلِكَ فَقَدۡ ظَلَمَ نَفۡسَهُ ۥۚ وَلَا تَتَّخِذُوٓاْ ءَايَـٰتِ ٱللهِ هُزُوً۬اۚ وَٱذۡكُرُواْ نِعۡمَتَ ٱللهِ عَلَيۡكُمۡ وَمَآ أَنزَلَ عَلَيۡكُم مِّنَ ٱلۡكِتَـٰبِ وَٱلۡحِكۡمَةِ يَعِظُكُم بِهِۦۚ وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَٱعۡلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ بِكُلِّ شَىۡءٍ عَلِيمٌ۬ ٢٣١
If you divorce the women, once they fulfil their interim (three menstruations), you shall allow them to live in the same home amicably, or let them leave amicably. Do not force them to stay against their will, as a revenge. Anyone who does this wrongs his own soul. Do not take ALLAH’s revelations in vain. Remember ALLAH’s blessings upon you, and that He sent down to you the scripture and wisdom to enlighten you. You shall observe ALLAH, and know that ALLAH is aware of all things.
