والقواعد من النساء اللاتي لا يرجون نكاحا فليس عليهن جناح ان يضعن ثيابهن غير متبرجات بزينة وان يستعففن خير لهن والله سميع عليم

Such elderly women as are Past the prospect of marriage,— There is no blame on them If they lay aside Their (outer) garments, provided They make not a wanton display Of their beauty: but It is best for them To be modest: and God Is One Who sees and knows All things.
