بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

24.60

وَ الْقَوَاعِدُ مِنَ النِّسَآءِ الّٰتِیْ لَا یَرْجُوْنَ نِكَاحًا فَلَیْسَ عَلَیْهِنَّ جُنَاحٌ اَنْ یَّضَعْنَ ثِیَابَهُنَّ غَیْرَ مُتَبَرِّجٰتٍۭ بِزِیْنَةٍؕ-وَ اَنْ یَّسْتَعْفِفْنَ خَیْرٌ لَّهُنَّؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ سَمِیْعٌ عَلِیْمٌ(60)

Kanz-ul-Irfan

And the elderly women ˹sat at home˺ who have no desire to marry, so there is no sin upon them if they remove their (outer) layer of clothing without revealing ˹their˺ adornment. To refrain from this too is better for them—and Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.[1]

Commentary

[1]

Elderly women beyond child-bearing age, generally not sought for marriage on account of their physical condition and very old age can remove their outer garments, i.e., an extra shawl, as long as no areas of adornment, such as hair, chest, and ankles are revealed. And for such elderly women, it is better to avoid this and keep their extra garment(s) on.
