Grammar Rules

Conjunction وَ (and)
وَإِنْ (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)
وَإِنْ (And if) introduces a condition — "if this happens, then that happens".
We translate it as "if" or "when".

Sahih International

But if you want to replace one wife with another and you have given one of them a great amount [in gifts], do not take [back] from it anything. Would you take it in injustice and manifest sin?
