As for women past child-bearing, who have no hope of marriage, it is no sin for them if they discard their (outer) clothing in such a way as not to show adornment. But to refrain is better for them. Allah is Hearer, Knower. - Pickthall, Marmaduke
⦿
As for women advanced in years who do not expect to marry, there will be no sin upon them if they put off their cloaks, without displaying their adornment. But it is better for them to be modest, and Allah is all-hearing, all-knowing. - Qarai, Ali Quli
⦿
Elderly women who have no hope of getting married are allowed not to wear the kind of clothing that young woman must wear, as long as they do not show off their beauty. It is better for them if they maintain chastity. God is All-hearing and All-knowing. - Sarwar, Muhammad
⦿
And (as for) women advanced in years who do not hope for a marriage, it is no sin for them if they put off their clothes without displaying their ornaments; and if they restrain themselves it is better for them; and Allah is Hearing, Knowing. - Shakir, Habib

There is no blame on elderly women who are past the age of marriage, if they take off their outer clothing, without revealing their adornments. But it would be better for them to guard themselves. God is all hearing, all knowing. - Wahiduddin Khan

اور ضعیفی سے بیٹھ رہنے والی عورتیں جنہیں نکاح سے کوئی دلچسپی نہیں ہے ان کے لئے کوئی حرج نہیں ہے کہ وہ اپنے ظاہری کپڑوں کو الگ کردیں بشرطیکہ زینت کی نمائش نہ کریں اور وہ بھی عفت کا تحفظ کرتی رہیں کہ یہی ان کے حق میں بھی بہتر ہے اور اللہ سب کی سننے والا اور سب کا حال جاننے والا ہے - Jawadi, Zeeshan
⦿
اور جو عورتیں جوانی سے گزری بیٹھی ہوں، نکاح کی امیدوار نہ ہوں، وہ اگر اپنی چادریں اتار کر رکھ دیں تو اُن پر کوئی گناہ نہیں، بشرطیکہ زینت کی نمائش کرنے والی نہ ہوں تاہم وہ بھی حیاداری ہی برتیں تو اُن کے حق میں اچھا ہے، اور اللہ سب کچھ سنتا اور جانتا ہے - Maududi, Abul A'ala
⦿
اور بوڑھی خانہ نشین عورتیں جنہیں نکاح کی آرزو نہیں ان پر کچھ گناہ نہیں کہ اپنے بالائی کپڑے اتار رکھیں جب کہ سنگھار نہ چمکائیں اور ان سے بھی بچنا ان کے لیے اور بہتر ہے، ور اللہ سنتا جانتا ہے، - Ahmed Raza
⦿
اور وہ عورتیں جو (بڑھاپے کی وجہ سے) خانہ نشین ہوگئی ہوں جنہیں نکاح کی کوئی آرزو نہ ہو ان کیلئے کوئی حرج نہیں ہے کہ وہ اپنے (پردہ کے) کپڑے اتار کر رکھ دیں بشرطیکہ زینت کی نمائش کرنے والیاں نہ ہوں۔ اور اگر اس سے بھی باز رہیں (اور پاکدامنی سے کام لیں) تو یہ اور بہتر ہے۔ اور اللہ بڑا سننے والا، بڑا جاننے والا ہے۔ - Najafi, Muhammad
