Ayah 24

۞وَٱلۡمُحۡصَنَٰتُ مِنَ ٱلنِّسَآءِ إِلَّا مَا مَلَكَتۡ أَيۡمَٰنُكُمۡۖ كِتَٰبَ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيۡكُمۡۚ وَأُحِلَّ لَكُم مَّا وَرَآءَ ذَٰلِكُمۡ أَن تَبۡتَغُواْ بِأَمۡوَٰلِكُم مُّحۡصِنِينَ غَيۡرَ مُسَٰفِحِينَۚ فَمَا ٱسۡتَمۡتَعۡتُم بِهِۦ مِنۡهُنَّ فَـَٔاتُوهُنَّ أُجُورَهُنَّ فَرِيضَةٗۚ وَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ فِيمَا تَرَٰضَيۡتُم بِهِۦ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ ٱلۡفَرِيضَةِۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ عَلِيمًا حَكِيمٗا

24. And (also prohibited to you are) women having husbands [94] except the women of infidels who come into your possession [95]. This is the prescription of Allah unto you [96]. And the remaining besides these are all lawful for you [97]; provided you seek them in exchange for your properties [98], bringing them in bondage (through marriage) and not desiring for lust [99]. Therefore, as to those women whom you wish to marry [100], give them their fixed dowries [101]. And there is no sin in what you mutually agree upon after fixation [102]. Indeed, Allah is All-Knowing, Most Wise.

Ayah 25

وَمَن لَّمۡ يَسۡتَطِعۡ مِنكُمۡ طَوۡلًا أَن يَنكِحَ ٱلۡمُحۡصَنَٰتِ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنَٰتِ فَمِن مَّا مَلَكَتۡ أَيۡمَٰنُكُم مِّن فَتَيَٰتِكُمُ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنَٰتِۚ وَٱللَّهُ أَعۡلَمُ بِإِيمَٰنِكُمۚ بَعۡضُكُم مِّنۢ بَعۡضٖۚ فَٱنكِحُوهُنَّ بِإِذۡنِ أَهۡلِهِنَّ وَءَاتُوهُنَّ أُجُورَهُنَّ بِٱلۡمَعۡرُوفِ مُحۡصَنَٰتٍ غَيۡرَ مُسَٰفِحَٰتٖ وَلَا مُتَّخِذَٰتِ أَخۡدَانٖۚ فَإِذَآ أُحۡصِنَّ فَإِنۡ أَتَيۡنَ بِفَٰحِشَةٖ فَعَلَيۡهِنَّ نِصۡفُ مَا عَلَى ٱلۡمُحۡصَنَٰتِ مِنَ ٱلۡعَذَابِۚ ذَٰلِكَ لِمَنۡ خَشِيَ ٱلۡعَنَتَ مِنكُمۡۚ وَأَن تَصۡبِرُواْ خَيۡرٞ لَّكُمۡۗ وَٱللَّهُ غَفُورٞ رَّحِيمٞ

25. And whoever amongst you does not have the means to marry free believing women, then let him marry such of the believing handmaids [103] who are the possession of your right hand. And Allah knows your faith very well. You are all alike (in religion). Therefore, marry them [104] with the permission of their masters [105], and give them their dowries [106] according to the fair convention for bringing in marriage, being honorable, pure, and chaste, but neither for lust nor making lovers [107]. And when they are wedded, if they commit any act of indecency, then on them the punishment is half [108] of that of free women [109]. This (permission of marriage) is for those among you who are afraid of adultery, but it is better for you to have patience [110]. And Allah is Most Forgiving, Merciful.
