Surah Al-Mumtahanah

وَإِن فَاتَكُمْ شَىْءٌ مِّنْ أَزْوَٰجِكُمْ إِلَى ٱلْكُفَّارِ فَعَاقَبْتُمْ فَـَٔاتُوا۟ ٱلَّذِينَ ذَهَبَتْ أَزْوَٰجُهُم مِّثْلَ مَآ أَنفَقُوا۟ ۚ وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنتُم بِهِۦ مُؤْمِنُونَ

Wa in fātakum syai'um min azwājikum ilal-kuffāri fa‘āqabtum fa'ātul-lażīna żahabat azwājuhum miṡla mā anfaqū, wattaqullāhal-lażī antum bihī mu'minūn(a).
