Translations of Quran 2:222
EnglishTalal Itani

And they ask you about menstruation: say, “It is harmful, so keep away from women during menstruation. And do not approach them until they have become pure. Once they have become pure, approach them in the way Allah has directed you.” Allah loves the repentant, and He loves those who keep clean.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

They question thee (O Muhammad) concerning menstruation. Say: It is an illness, so let women alone at such times and go not in unto them till they are cleansed. And when they have purified themselves, then go in unto them as Allah hath enjoined upon you. Truly Allah loveth those who turn unto Him, and loveth those who have a care for cleanness.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Sana hayızdan da soruyorlar, deki o bir ezadır, onun için hayız zamanı kadınlardan çekilin ve temizlenene kadar onlara yanaşmayın, iyi temizlendiler mi o vakit Allahın emrettiği yerden onlara varın, her halde Allah çok tevbe edenleri de sever, çok temizlenenleri de sever

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Ils t’interrogeront sur les règles des femmes. Dis-leur : C’est un inconvénient. Séparez-vous de vos épouses pendant ce temps, et n’en approchez que lorsqu’elles seront purifiées. Lorsqu’elles seront purifiées, voyez-les comme Dieu vous l’a ordonné. Il aime ceux qui se repentent, il aime ceux qui cherchent à se conserver purs.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Zij zullen u ondervragen omtrent de maandelijksche reiniging der vrouwen. Zeg hun: Dit is een onreinheid. Scheidt u daarom gedurende de maandelijksche reiniging van de vrouwen af; komt haar niet nabij, tot zij gereinigd zullen zijn. Maar als zij gereinigd zijn, gaat dan tot haar, zoo als God u heeft bevolen. Want God bemint hen die berouw hebben en de reinen.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

T’interrogheranno sulle regole delle donne; di’ loro: È un inconveniente. Separatevi dalle vostre mogli durante questo tempo, e non le avvicinate finchè non saranno purificate. Quando esse lo saranno, siate con loro, come ve l’ordina Iddio. Egli ama coloro che si pentono, e che sono puri.
