Bayhaqi 13531 — Reports on elderly women past childbearing

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو زَكَرِيَّا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ الْمُزَكِّي، أنبأ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدُوسٍ، ثنا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الدَّارِمِيُّ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى {وَالْقَوَاعِدُ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ اللَّاتِي لَا يَرْجُونَ نِكَاحًا} [النور: ٦٠] قَالَ: " هِيَ الْمَرْأَةُ لَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهَا أَنْ تَجْلِسَ فِي بَيْتِهَا بِدِرْعٍ وَخِمَارٍ وَتَضَعُ عَنْهَا الْجِلْبَابَ، مَا لَمْ تَتَبَرَّجْ لِمَا يَكْرَهُهُ اللهُ، وَهُوَ قَوْلُهُ: {فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِنَّ جُنَاحٌ أَنْ يَضَعْنَ ثِيَابَهُنَّ غَيْرَ مُتَبَرِّجَاتٍ بِزِينَةٍ} [النور: ٦٠]، ثُمَّ قَالَ: {وَأَنْ يَسْتَعْفِفْنَ خَيْرٌ لَهُنَّ} [النور: ٦٠] ".
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said concerning the saying of Allah Almighty: "And the elderly women who have no hope of marriage" [Surah al-Nur: 60]: This refers to the woman on whom there is no blame if she sits in her house in a gown and head-covering and takes off her outer cloak, as long as she does not display her adornment in a way that Allah dislikes. That is the saying of Allah Almighty: "There is no blame on them if they put aside their outer garments, not displaying adornment" [Surah al-Nur: 60]. Then He said: "But to refrain is better for them" [Surah al-Nur: 60].
