Grammar Rules

Conjunction وَ (and)
وَإِن (And if) starts with وَ, the most common Arabic word — it means "and".
We add "and" to connect this to what came before.
Conditional (if/when)
وَإِن (And if) introduces a condition — "if this happens, then that happens".
We translate it as "if" or "when".

Sahih International

And if you divorce them before you have touched them and you have already specified for them an obligation, then [give] half of what you specified - unless they forego the right or the one in whose hand is the marriage contract foregoes it. And to forego it is nearer to righteousness. And do not forget graciousness between you. Indeed Allāh, of whatever you do, is Seeing.
