According to search-discovered classical Islamic scholarship, the Quranic ruling for older women's garments, detailed in Surah An-Nur (24:60), provides a specific divine license (rukhsah) for a defined group of women. Commentators such as Ibn Kathir and Al-Qurtubi are in consensus that the term 'al-qawa'id min an-nisa'' refers to post-menopausal women who no longer have the expectation of marriage. The verse permits them to set aside their outer garments, such as the jilbab, which are required for younger women in public. However, this concession is bound by a critical condition: that they do so 'without displaying their adornment' (ghayra mutabarrijatin bizinah). Al-Tabari's linguistic analysis supports this, showing the term implies retiring from aspects of life associated with youth. Crucially, the verse concludes by stating that to voluntarily maintain a higher level of modesty is 'better for them,' affirming that while the obligation is eased, the virtue remains paramount. This single verse masterfully balances divine mercy, practicality for the elderly, and the enduring importance of modesty in Islam.
