And when the children among you come to puberty, then let them
(also) ask for permission, as those senior to them (in age). Thus Allâh makes
clear His Ayât (Commandments and legal obligations) for you. And Allâh is
All-Knowing, All-Wise. (59) And as for women past child-bearing who do not expect
wed-lock, it is no sin on them if they discard their (outer) clothing in such a
way as not to show their adornment. But to refrain (i.e. not to discard their
outer clothing) is better for them. And Allâh is All-Hearer, All-Knower. (60) There is no
restriction on the blind, nor any restriction on the lame, nor any restriction
on the sick, nor on yourselves, if you eat from your houses, or the houses of
your fathers, or the houses of your mothers, or the houses of your brothers, or
the houses of your sisters, or the houses of your father's brothers, or the
houses of your father's sisters, or the houses of your mother's brothers, or
the houses of your mother's sisters, or (from that) whereof you hold keys, or
(from the house) of a friend. No sin on you whether you eat together or apart.
But when you enter the houses, greet one another with a greeting from Allâh
(i.e. say: As-Salâmu 'Alaikum - peace be on you) blessed and good. Thus Allâh
makes clear the Ayât (these Verses or your religious symbols and signs) to you
that you may understand. (61)
