۞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 فََٔاتُوهُنَّ أُجُورَهُنَّ فَرِيضَةٗۚ وَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ فِيمَا تَرَٰضَيۡتُم بِهِۦ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ ٱلۡفَرِيضَةِۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ عَلِيمًا حَكِيمٗا
24Fourthly, the married women are also unlawful for you except those slave girls whom you own according to Islamic law (after one monthly course or after delivery of child if they are pregnant). Allah has made these laws obligatory for you. Apart from these women, all other women are lawful for you for marriage. So you may seek them (in marriage) by paying bridal money, desiring chastity and not for debauchery (i.e. for great indulgence in sexual pleasure). Hence, those of you who have enjoyed them as your wives, you must pay the prescribed bridal-money to them. Even after prescribing the bridal-money, if you mutually agree (to change it) there is no sin on you (i.e. may be husband increases the bridal money, or wife forgives part or whole of the bridal-money, both cases are acceptable). Indeed, Allah is All-Knowing (knows all your benefits), All-Wise (makes regulations wisely to ensure these benefits for you).
