[Machine] In His saying, exalted be He: "And if you divorce them before you have touched them and you have already specified for them an obligation, then [give] half of what you specified" [Surah Al-Baqarah 2:237]. This refers to the man who marries a woman and has named a dowry for her, then divorces her before consummating the marriage. In this case, she is entitled to half of the dowry, and no more than that.  

فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى {وَإِنْ طَلَّقْتُمُوهُنَّ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ تَمَسُّوهُنَّ وَقَدْ فَرَضْتُمْ لَهُنَّ فَرِيضَةً فَنِصْفُ مَا فَرَضْتُمْ} [البقرة 237] فَهُوَ الرَّجُلُ يَتَزَوَّجُ الْمَرْأَةَ وَقَدْ سَمَّى لَهَا صَدَاقًا ثُمَّ يُطَلِّقُهَا مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ يَمَسَّهَا وَالْمَسُّ الْجِمَاعُ فَلَهَا نِصْفُ الصَّدَاقِ وَلَيْسَ لَهَا أَكْثَرُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ
