    وَإِنۡ خِفۡتُمۡ أَلَّا تُقۡسِطُواْ فِي ٱلۡيَتَٰمَىٰ فَٱنكِحُواْ مَا طَابَ لَكُم مِّنَ ٱلنِّسَآءِ مَثۡنَىٰ وَثُلَٰثَ وَرُبَٰعَۖ فَإِنۡ خِفۡتُمۡ أَلَّا تَعۡدِلُواْ فَوَٰحِدَةً أَوۡ مَا مَلَكَتۡ أَيۡمَٰنُكُمۡۚ ذَٰلِكَ أَدۡنَىٰٓ أَلَّا تَعُولُواْ

    3. And if you fear that you will not deal justly with the orphan girls [9], marry those who seem good to you—two, three, or four [10]. But if you fear that you will not be just [to all of them], then [marry] only one [11], or [have] those whom your right hand owns [12]. That is more suitable to prevent you from doing injustice.

And if the guardian is wealthy, he should abstain [from taking anything], but if he is poor, let him consume it in a fair and reasonable manner [21]. And when you hand over their property, bring witnesses [22] in their presence. And Allah is sufficient as a Reckoner.

    This sûrah mainly describes about the rights of women (as its name implies), the law of inheritance, orphan care, lawful and unlawful marriage partners, and a demonstration of justice in verses 105-112. Later on, it transitions to cover striving for Allāh's cause as well as relations between Muslims and People of the Book; it culminates with a response to claims about Jesus's ( ï·º ) crucifixion and divinity. This sûrah joins its predecessors and successors by bringing up the topic of hypocrisy – a recurring theme in many.
