concerning them, and the Scripture which hath been recited unto you
(giveth decree), concerning female orphans and those unto whom ye give
not that which is ordained for them though ye desire to marry them, and
(concerning) the weak among children, and that ye should deal justly
with orphans. Whatever good ye do, lo! Allah is ever Aware of it.

S: And they ask you a decision about women. Say: Allah makes known to
you His decision concerning them, and that which is recited to you in
the Book concerning female orphans whom you do not give what is
appointed for them while you desire to marry them, and concerning the
weak among children, and that you should deal towards orphans with
equity; and whatever good you do, Allah surely knows it.
