Surah An Nur, verse 60


وَالْقَوَاعِدُ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ اللَّاتِي لَا يَرْجُونَ نِكَاحًا فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِنَّ جُنَاحٌ أَنْ يَضَعْنَ ثِيَابَهُنَّ غَيْرَ مُتَبَرِّجَاتٍ بِزِينَةٍ ۖ وَأَنْ يَسْتَعْفِفْنَ خَيْرٌ لَهُنَّ ۗ وَاللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ

Pickthall :

As for women past child-bearing, who have no hope of marriage,

it is no sin for them if they discard their (outer) clothing in such a way as not to show adornment.

But to refrain is better for them.

Allah is Hearer, Knower.

Yusuf Ali :

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 Allah is One Who sees and knows all things.


I guess how the scholars interpret these verses relates to their views on hijab in general

and those who are stricter on hijab in general no doubt interpret these verses differently

to the way that those who are less strict on it in general do, yes?
