Assalamu alaikum, In surat Al-Nur, ayah 60, it's clarified: "Such elderly women as are past the prospect of marriage,- there is no blame on them if they lay aside their (outer) garments, provided they make not a wanton display of their beauty: but it is best for them to be modest: and Allah is One Who sees and knows all things." translation: Yusuf Ali |

| Assalamu alaikum, I always thought that this refers to very old women who are no longer interested in marriage or bearing children (by today's standards that might apply to those in 70's and up). The best thing is to consult a scholar or an imam in your vicinity. Insha'Allah they'll clear up the matter for you. |

| Salaam [quote]I still wish to???[/quote] I strongly believe that in Islam so many leeways are given to us to make things easier but we dont have to avail ourselves of those leeways if we dont want to. For example, divorce is halal but it does not bring God's pleasure into it. Similarly, with regards to the hijab a leeway is given but from your statement above, you WANT to put on the hijab so please do so if its for the pleasure of ALlah in preserving your modesty. Wallahualam bissawab. |

| salam, alhumdulilah its good that you want to continue wearing hijab when you become older. as we all know things become very hard for our elders. they move slower, theyre more tired etc. so if a women is very old, lost her beauty, cannot have children, etc. it is said that she may be allowed to remove her hijab to make life easier for example, when it is really hot outside and the sun is beating down on you, as a youth u can take it more easier than an elderly person. its very hard for them. but of course if u feel the same about wearing your hijab as you did when u were younger, than alhamdulilah go for it wasalam nouha:) |

| As salaamu alaykum, there seems to be a bit of misunderstanding here, for the ayah refered to here states: "there is no blame on them if they lay aside their ثيابهن (outer) garments". And there is a "farq kabeeeer" between ثياب and hijaab. ثياب (outer) garments here refering to the jilbaab as stated by ibn Masood, ibn Umar, ibn Abbas and other sahabahs {see Tafseer ibn Kathir}. This why imam As shawkaani said in his tafseer of this ayah {vol.4 pg. 71}: this ثياب (outer) garments here means the jilbaab or what is similar to it {like a cloak, or abayah}, not the garments that covers the awrah {hijaab}. Shaikh Nasir deed Al Albani in his book "Hijaab al marat 'ul muslimah" The Hijab of a muslim woman" {an excellent book for those who can arabic, very convincing and scholarly} stated that a jilbaab: Is that outer clothing a woman put on on top of her regular clothing, according to the most correct opinion {He said, shaikh Albani in his footnote of the book "perhaps it is the abayahs which the women in places like Saudi, Iraq, etc.. wears these days this}. It is often worn when a woman leaves her house as indicated in the hadeeth of Umm Ateeyah narrated by Al Bukhari and Muslim: We were ordered to go out (for 'Id) and also to take along with us the menstruating women, mature girls and virgins staying in seclusion. My sister asked the Prophet [an error occurred while processing this directive] (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) whether there was anything wrong with her not going out [on Eid] if she did not have a JILBAAB. He said, ‘Let her friend give her one of her jilbaabs so that she may witness the blessings of Eid and see the Muslims gathering." So, i just wanted to point that difference between the hijaab and ثيابهن {the jilbaab} which may seem as one and the same but is different as was shown, and Allah knows best. |
