Bayhaqi Q14836 — The circumstance in which the ransom is lawful

قَالَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: {وَلَا يَحِلُّ لَكُمْ أَنْ تَأْخُذُوا مِمَّا آتَيْتُمُوهُنَّ شَيْئًا إِلَّا أَنْ يَخَافَا أَلَّا يُقِيمَا حُدُودَ اللهِ فَإِنْ خِفْتُمْ أَلَّا يُقِيمَا حُدُودَ اللهِ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِمَا فِيمَا افْتَدَتْ بِهِ} [البقرة: 229].
Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, says: "And it is not lawful for you to take back anything of what you have given them, unless both fear that they will not be able to keep within the limits of Allah. But if you fear that they will not keep within the limits of Allah, then there is no sin on either of them concerning that (wealth) with which the woman ransoms herself (to free herself)." [Surah al-Baqarah: 229]
