And as for menopausal women who have ceased to menstruate or to bear children because of old age who do not expect to marry for that reason they would not be at fault if they put off their clothes such a robe a cloak or the facial mask over a head veil in such a way as not to display adornment that is hidden such as a necklace a bracelet or an anklet; but to refrain from doing so by not putting them off is better for them; and God is Hearer of what you say Knower of what is in your hearts.
