Ayah: 234

وَٱلَّذِينَ يُتَوَفَّوۡنَ مِنكُمۡ وَيَذَرُونَ أَزۡوَٰجٗا يَتَرَبَّصۡنَ بِأَنفُسِهِنَّ أَرۡبَعَةَ أَشۡهُرٖ وَعَشۡرٗاۖ فَإِذَا بَلَغۡنَ أَجَلَهُنَّ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ فِيمَا فَعَلۡنَ فِيٓ أَنفُسِهِنَّ بِٱلۡمَعۡرُوفِۗ وَٱللَّهُ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ خَبِيرٞ

234. (As for) those of you who die and leave wives behind, they (the wives, if not pregnant) should wait for four months and ten days (and if pregnant, until birth). When they have fully fulfilled their term, there is no blame on you for what they do for themselves (i.e., to remarry) in a lawful manner. Allāh is well Aware of what you do.
