2:240. And those who are taken in death among you and leave wives behind - for their wives is a bequest: maintenance for one year without turning [them] out. But if they leave [of their own accord], then there is no blame upon you for what they do with themselves in an acceptable way. And Allah is Exalted in Might and Wise.
اور جو لوگ تم میں سے مرجائیں اور عورتیں چھوڑ جائیں وہ اپنی عورتوں کے حق میں وصیت کرجائیں کہ ان کو ایک سال تک خرچ دیا جائے اور گھر سے نہ نکالی جائیں۔ ہاں اگر وہ خود گھر سے نکل جائیں اور اپنے حق میں پسندیدہ کام (یعنی نکاح) کرلیں تو تم پر کچھ گناہ نہیں۔ اور خدا زبردست حکمت والا ہے
