Sura 24
Aya 60
60
وَالقَواعِدُ مِنَ النِّساءِ اللّاتي لا يَرجونَ نِكاحًا فَلَيسَ عَلَيهِنَّ جُناحٌ أَن يَضَعنَ ثِيابَهُنَّ غَيرَ مُتَبَرِّجاتٍ بِزينَةٍ ۖ وَأَن يَستَعفِفنَ خَيرٌ لَهُنَّ ۗ وَاللَّهُ سَميعٌ عَليمٌ

(Irfan-ul-Quran)

And there is no sin on those elderly house-confined women who have no desire (now) for marriage if they lay aside their garments (i.e. additional outer coverings), provided they (too) do not show their adornment. And if they are (more) committed to self-restraint (i.e. do not remove additional outer coverings as well) that is better for them. And Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.
