| 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 those 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 you
Believers! Repent all of you together to Allah, that you may attain
success. (Al-Noor-31) |
