O you who have believed, let those whom your right hands possess and those who have not [yet] reached puberty among you ask permission of you [before entering] at three times: before the dawn prayer and when you put aside your clothing [for rest] at noon and after the night prayer. [These are] three times of privacy for you. There is no blame upon you nor upon them beyond these [periods], for they continually circulate among you - some of you, among others. Thus does Allāh make clear to you the verses [i.e., His ordinances]; and Allāh is Knowing and Wise.
وَإِذَا And when wa-idhā reach balagha the children l-aṭfālu among you minkumu the puberty l-ḥuluma then let them ask permission falyastadhinū as kamā asked permission is'tadhana those who alladhīna (were) before them min (were) before them qablihim Thus kadhālika Allah makes clear yubayyinu Allah makes clear l-lahu for you lakum His Verses āyātihi And Allah wal-lahu (is) All-Knower ʿalīmun All-Wise ḥakīmun
And when the children among you reach puberty, let them ask permission [at all times] as those before them have done. Thus does Allāh make clear to you His verses; and Allāh is Knowing and Wise.
وَٱلْقَوَٰعِدُ And postmenopausal wal-qawāʿidu among mina the women l-nisāi who allātī (do) not lā have desire yarjūna (for) marriage nikāḥan then not is falaysa on them ʿalayhinna any blame junāḥun that an they put aside yaḍaʿna their (outer) garments thiyābahunna not ghayra displaying mutabarrijātin their adornment bizīnatin And that wa-an they modestly refrain yastaʿfif'na (is) better khayrun for them lahunna And Allah wal-lahu (is) All-Hearer samīʿun All-Knower ʿalīmun
And women of post-menstrual age who have no desire for marriage - there is no blame upon them for putting aside their outer garments [but] not displaying adornment. But to modestly refrain [from that] is better for them. And Allāh is Hearing and Knowing.
