242. Allah makes His commands clear to you in this way [339], so that you may use your understanding.
[339] Here, after giving commands related to family life such as marriage, divorce, waiting period (‘iddah), and breastfeeding, Allah Almighty says that these commands have been explained clearly. Therefore, understand them well and act upon them, and whatever intention of Allah Almighty is understood from them, act accordingly. Do not try to find loopholes for yourselves.
