The result particle fa is usually translated as "then" or "so" and is used to indicate the result of a condition. The negative particle acts like the particle anna (أن). This particle belongs to a special group of words known as inna and her sisters (ان واخواتها).

Verse (2:240)

The analysis above refers to the 240th verse of chapter 2 (sūrat l-baqarah):

Sahih International: And those who are taken in death among you and leave wives behind - for their wives is a bequest: maintenance for one year without turning [them] out. But if they leave [of their own accord], then there is no blame upon you for what they do with themselves in an acceptable way. And Allah is Exalted in Might and Wise.
