Vers: 20

وَإِنۡ أَرَدتُّمُ ٱسۡتِبۡدَالَ زَوۡجٖ مَّكَانَ زَوۡجٖ وَءَاتَيۡتُمۡ إِحۡدَىٰهُنَّ قِنطَارٗا فَلَا تَأۡخُذُواْ مِنۡهُ شَيۡـًٔاۚ أَتَأۡخُذُونَهُۥ بُهۡتَٰنٗا وَإِثۡمٗا مُّبِينٗا

(20) If you wish to exchange one wife for another –and you have given one of them a hundredweight^[819] ˹in dowry˺ – then take not ˹back˺ any part of it—would you take it falsefully and with blatant sin!

[819] Used here in place of qinṭār (i.e. a unit of measure akin to a hundredweight) which is a large amount of something, usually a pricey item like gold or silver. Needless to say, this ruling also applies to smaller amounts of dowry (cf. al-Ṭabarī, Ibn Kathīr).
