Al-Baqarah-235, Quran Recitation by Abu Bakr al Shatri

And there is no sin on you if you make a hint of betrothal (to the women who are in the waiting-period) or conceal such a desire in yourself. Allah knows that you will remember them, but do not give them a promise in secret except (a hint of betrothal) that you speak in a lawful manner (according to usage, on a reasonable basis). Do not resolve on the tie of marriage before the end of their waiting-period. And know that Allah knows what is in you, therefore beware of Him. And know that Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Gentle.

And no blame is on you in that ye speak indirectly of your troth unto the said women or conceal it in, your souls! Allah knoweth that ye will anon make mention of these women: but make no promises unto them in secret, except ye speak a reputable saying. And even resolve not on wedding-knot until the prescribed term hath attained its end; and know that Allah knoweth that which is in your souls, wherefore beware of Him, and know that Allah is Forgiving, Forbearing

There is no sin upon you in what you may hint in proposing to [recently widowed] women, or what you may secretly cherish within your hearts. Allah knows that you will be thinking of them, but do not make troth with them secretly, unless you say honourable words, and do not resolve on a marriage tie until the prescribed term is complete. Know that Allah knows what is in your hearts, so beware of Him; and know that Allah is all-forgiving, all-forbearing.

There is no blame on you that (during this waiting period) you indicate a marriage proposal to such women or keep it hidden in yourselves. God knows that you will think of them (with such proposals in mind), but do not make any secret engagement with them, except that you speak it properly in decent words. Do not resolve on the marriage tie until the ordained term has come to its end. Know that God knows what is in your hearts, so be careful about Him; and know that God is All-Forgiving, All-Clement, (Who shows no haste in punishing).

There is no harm in proposing in secret to (any of) these women, or keeping the intention to yourself: God is aware that you will keep them in mind.

Remember that God knows what is in your hearts; so be fearful of Him, and remember that God is forgiving and forbearing.

There is no blame on you respecting that which you speak indirectly, regarding a proposal of marriage, to these (widowed) women (within their period of waiting), or whether you keep it (the proposal) hidden in your minds.
