But whoever has not the means, let him fast for two months successively before they touch each other; then as for him who is not able, let him feed sixty needy ones; that is in order that you may have faith in Allah and His Apostle, and these are Allah's limits, and the unbelievers shall have a painful punishment.
و آن كس كه [بر آزادكردن بنده‌] دسترسى ندارد، بايد پيش از تماس [با زن خود] دو ماه پياپى روزه بدارد؛ و هر كه نتواند، بايد شصت بينوا را خوراك بدهد. اين [حكم‌] براى آن است كه به خدا و فرستاده او ايمان بياوريد، و اين است حدود خدا. و كافران را عذابى پردرد خواهد بود.
