Al-Baqarah 2: 235–6

when they have reached the end of the waiting term, there is no blame upon you regarding what they may do with them- selves in a fair manner. Allah is well aware of what you do. (235) There is no blame upon you whether you hint at a marriage proposal to such women or keep the proposal hidden in your hearts. Allah knows that you will think of them in that connection. But do not make any secret engagement with them and speak openly in an honourable manner. Do not resolve on the marriage tie until the ordained term has come to its end. Know well that Allah knows even what is in your hearts. So, have fear of Him and know well that Allah is All-Forgiving, All- Forbearing.

(236) There is no blame upon you if you divorce your wives before you have touched them or settled a bridal gift upon them. ▶

waiting period prescribed by Law. To observe “a waiting period” does not mean merely that the women concerned should refrain from marrying, but also from self-adornment.
