4. And give unto the women (whom ye marry) free gift of
their marriage portions. But if they of their own accord remit unto you a
part thereof, then ye are welcome to absorb it (in your wealth).
5. And give not unto the foolish (what is in) your
(keeping of their) wealth, which Allah hath given you to maintain; and feed
and clothe them from it, and speak kindly unto them.

Commentary
Sadu-qaati-hinna – {free
gift of women’s marriage portions (who are married recently)}, sadu-qaat is
plural of sadaqah which is also used in the meanings of
charity, zakaat (alms-giving). Here it has been used for the
money or its value incumbent on the husband as a right of the women (whom you
marry).
Matrimony and other orders regarding wives
have been described in these verses. Allah Almighty commands, Give unto the
women (whom you marry) free gift of their marriage portions happily at your
own, whether anybody urges you to pay or not. As though, if you do so then
there is no objection to marry the orphan girls. Objection is in that case if
there is a risk of shortness in paying the money or its value incumbent on the
husband or their any right.
If the woman of her own accord remits her
husband a part thereof with her own pleasure or returns it whole to him after
receiving, then there is no harm, the husband can take it happily and absorb it
in his wealth. The wife can remit the entire money incumbent to her husband
too.
haniii-‘am-mariii-‘aa – (with pleasure and
love), the meal, which seems delicious and a person accepts it with pleasure,
that is called haniii-‘an and mariii-‘an is
that meal which becomes part of the body and means of health and personal
strength after digestion.
It has been directed about the little
children; particularly the orphans come first out of them that until they are
unintelligent, their wealth should not be handed over to them, which Allah
Almighty has provided for the humankind’s arrangements of livelihood. But you
should preserve their wealth entirely and save it from misappropriation until
those children do not become able to understand the difference between profit
and loss, good and bad. However, feed and clothe them from it, and satisfy them
by speaking kindly that entire wealth is for them, we are protecting it only as
their well-wishers. When you will become sensible, this wealth will be handed
over to you.
We
should considerate, meditate and obey these orders, which Allah Almighty has
given to us about the orphans and women. We should pray for Divine guidance to
act upon them. Not only the feeding and the clothing but also speaking kindly
and fair talk is included in the goodness.
