وَقُل
لِّلْمُؤْمِنَاتِ
يَغْضُضْنَ
مِنْ
أَبْصَارِهِنَّ
وَيَحْفَظْنَ
فُرُوجَهُنَّ
وَلَا
يُبْدِينَ
زِينَتَهُنَّ
إِلَّا
مَا
ظَهَرَ
مِنْهَا
وَلْيَضْرِبْنَ
بِخُمُرِهِنَّ
عَلَى
جُيُوبِهِنَّ
وَلَا
يُبْدِينَ
زِينَتَهُنَّ
إِلَّا
لِبُعُولَتِهِنَّ
أَوْ
آبَائِهِنَّ
أَوْ
آبَاءِ
بُعُولَتِهِنَّ
أَوْ
أَبْنَائِهِنَّ
أَوْ
أَبْنَاءِ
بُعُولَتِهِنَّ
أَوْ
إِخْوَانِهِنَّ
أَوْ
بَنِي
إِخْوَانِهِنَّ
أَوْ
بَنِي
أَخَوَاتِهِنَّ
أَوْ
نِسَائِهِنَّ
أَوْ
مَا
مَلَكَتْ
أَيْمَانُهُنَّ
أَوِ
التَّابِعِينَ
غَيْرِ
أُولِي
الْإِرْبَةِ
مِنَ
الرِّجَالِ
أَوِ
الطِّفْلِ
الَّذِينَ
لَمْ
يَظْهَرُوا
عَلَى
عَوْرَاتِ
النِّسَاءِ
وَلَا
يَضْرِبْنَ
بِأَرْجُلِهِنَّ
لِيُعْلَمَ
مَا
يُخْفِينَ
مِن
زِينَتِهِنَّ
وَتُوبُوا
إِلَى
اللَّهِ
جَمِيعًا
أَيُّهَ
الْمُؤْمِنُونَ
لَعَلَّكُمْ
تُفْلِحُونَ

Tell the believing woman to cast down their eyes, guard their chastity, and not to show off their beauty except what is permitted by the law. Let them cover their breasts with their veils. They must not show off their beauty to anyone other than their husbands, father, father-in-laws, sons, step-sons, brothers, sons of brothers and sisters, women of their kind, their slaves, immature male servants, or immature boys. They must not stamp their feet to show off their hidden ornaments. All of you believers, turn to God in repentance so that perhaps you will have everlasting happiness.
