from Satan the outcast)
Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.

(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)
وَٱلْقَوَٰعِدُ مِنَ ٱلنِّسَآءِ ٱلَّٰتِى لَا يَرْجُونَ نِكَاحًا فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِنَّ جُنَاحٌ أَنيَضَعْنَ ثِيَابَهُنَّ غَيْرَ مُتَبَرِّجَٰتٍۭ بِزِينَةٍ وَأَن يَسْتَعْفِفْنَ خَيْرٌ لَّهُنَّ وَٱللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ 60

60. 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. And to
refrain is better for them. And Allah is Hearer, Knower.

Commentary
‘Al-qawaa-‘ida – {overage, past child-bearing
(women)}, this word is plural of qaa-‘idatun, which is feminine from qa-‘ad.
Qa-‘uud means “to sit”. Here it aims “the women who are advanced in
years, old women whose menstruations have been stopped and who have become unable
to bear any baby”.
Laa yarjuuna nikaahan – {(those women) who
have no hope of marriage with any man}.
It is commanded: There is no sin for the old women if they
discard their outer clothing when they are in the boundary of house, and if they
undress their veils (covering the whole body from head to feet), then it also is
of no consequence, provided that their aim is as not to show their adornment. But
if these women too keep themselves dressed fully, it is better for them. To
keep their bodies hidden every time and not to discard their outer clothing,
its consequence will be better in favor of them. They should bear in mind also
every time along with apparent veil that Allaah Almighty observes their
all matters and knows about their entire secrets and intentions. Acting upon
the commandments concerning modesty is as abiding by the laws. But keeping the
intentions correct; is spirit of piety and abstinence. Therefore, one should save
one’s tongue and mind also from false conversation and evil thoughts by acting
upon the apparent law.
It can be known from this verse that how much the veil is important?
Think for awhile that if the old women are being instructed so strictly then
how the adults can show their adornment? It is found also that the purpose of
the veil is that evil thoughts should not be born in mind by looking the body or
ornaments.
