Meaning: exposed · Also translated as: private aspects, times of privacy
العورة سوأة الإنسان، وذلك كناية، وأصلها من العار وذلك لما يلحق في ظهوره من العار أي: المذمة، ولذلك سمي النساء عورة، ومن ذلك: العوراء للكلمة القبيحة، وعورت عينه عورا ، وعارت عينه عورا ، وعورتها، وعنه استعير: عورت البئر، وقيل للغراب: الأعور، لحدة نظره، وذلك على عكس المعنى ولذلك قال الشاعر:335-وصحاح العيون يدعون عورا
العين والواو والراء أصلان: أحدهما يدل على تداول الشيء، والآخر يدل على مرض في إحدى عيني الإنسان وكل ذي عينين. ومعناه الخلو من النظر. ثم يحمل عليه ويشتق منه.

And say to the believing women That they should lower Their gaze and guard Their modesty; that they Should not display their Beauty and ornaments except What (must ordinarily) appear Thereof; that they should Draw their veils over Their bosoms and not display Their beauty except To their husbands, their fathers, Their husbands’ fathers, their sons, Their husbands’ sons, Their brothers or their brothers’ sons, Or their sisters’ sons, Or their women, or the slaves Whom their right hands Possess, or male servants Free of physical needs, Or small children who Have no sense of the shame Of sex; and that they Should not strike their feet In order to draw attention To their hidden ornaments. And O ye Believers! Turn ye all together Towards God, that ye May attain Bliss.
Surah An-Nur, verse 24:31O ye who believe! Let those whom your right hands Possess, and the (children) among you Who have not come of age Ask your permission (before They come to your presence), On three occasions: before Morning prayer; the while Ye doff your clothes For the noonday heat; And after the late-night prayer: These are your three times Of undress: outside those times It is not wrong for you Or for them to move about Attending to each other: Thus does God make clear The Signs to you: for God Is full of knowledge and wisdom.
Surah An-Nur, verse 24:58Behold! A party among them Said: "Ye men of Yathrib! Ye cannot stand (the attack)! Therefore go back!" And a band of them Ask for leave of the Prophet, Saying, "Truly our houses Are bare and exposed," though They were not exposed: They intended nothing but To run away.
Surah Al-Ahzab, verse 33:13
