Overall meaning : Let your revocably divorced wives dwell where you yourselves dwell, according to your means, until the end of their waiting period; and do not harass them so as to make life a misery, leaving them with no choice but to leave your homes.
If they are pregnant, maintain them until they give birth, which is the end of their waiting period; and if, after that, they breastfeed your child for you, give them their pay and consult together honourably and in a fair manner concerning your baby, ensuring what is best for it. But if you both find it difficult to reach an agreement regarding the breastfeeding of the baby, let the father find and hire another woman to nurse his child for him.
The rich husband should spend generously on his divorced wife and infant, and the poor man whose provisions are restricted should spend out of what Allah has given him, according to his means. Allah does not burden any person beyond what He has given him, only according to his circumstances of being wealthy or poor. Allah will certainly bring about ease and plenty after hardship and scarcity.
