XXIV, 56-60.
THE CHAPTER OF LIGHT.
frustrate (God) in the earth, for their resort is the Fire, and an ill journey shall it be.
O ye who believe! let those whom your right hands possess, and those amongst you who have not reached puberty, ask leave of you three times : before the prayer of dawn, and when ye put off your clothes at noon, and after the evening prayer; -three times of privacy for you1: there is no crime on either you or them after these while ye are continually going one about the other. Thus does God explain to you His signs, for God is knowing, wise.

And when your children reach puberty let them ask leave as those before them asked leave. Thus does God explain to you His signs, for God is knowing, wise.
And those women who have stopped (child-bearing), who do not hope for a match, it is no crime on then that they put off their clothes so as not to display their ornaments; but that they abstain is better for them, for God both hears and knows.
[60] There is no hindrance to the blind, and no hindrance to the lame, and no hindrance to the sick, and none upon yourselves that 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 paternal uncles, or the houses of your paternal aunts, or the houses of your maternal uncles,
1 I. e. at the times when persons are undressed, namely, to rise in the morning, to sleep at noon, and to retire for the night, their attendants and children must not come in without first asking permission.
