(As for) women that are past childbearing who have no hope of marriage there is no fault in them that they discard their cloaks provided they do not reveal their adornments, but it is better if they abstain. Allah is the Hearer, the Knower.
و بر زنان از كار افتاده‌اى كه [ديگر] اميد زناشويى ندارند گناهى نيست كه پوشش خود را كنار نهند [به شرطى كه‌] زينتى را آشكار نكنند؛ و عفّت ورزيدن براى آنها بهتر است، و خدا شنواى داناست.
