يَا أَيُّهَا
الَّذِينَ
آمَنُوا
لِيَسْتَأْذِنكُمُ
الَّذِينَ
مَلَكَتْ
أَيْمَانُكُمْ
وَالَّذِينَ
لَمْ
يَبْلُغُوا
الْحُلُمَ
مِنكُمْ
ثَلَاثَ
مَرَّاتٍ
مِّن
قَبْلِ
صَلَاةِ
الْفَجْرِ
وَحِينَ
تَضَعُونَ
ثِيَابَكُم
مِّنَ
الظَّهِيرَةِ
وَمِن
بَعْدِ
صَلَاةِ
الْعِشَاءِ
ثَلَاثُ
عَوْرَاتٍ
لَّكُمْ
لَيْسَ
عَلَيْكُمْ
وَلَا
عَلَيْهِمْ
جُنَاحٌ
بَعْدَهُنَّ
طَوَّافُونَ
عَلَيْكُم
بَعْضُكُمْ
عَلَى
بَعْضٍ
كَذَلِكَ
يُبَيِّنُ
اللَّهُ
لَكُمُ
الْآيَاتِ
وَاللَّهُ
عَلِيمٌ
حَكِيمٌ

O ye who believe! let those whom your right hands possess, and the (children) among you who have not come of age ask your permission (before they come to your presence), on three occasions: before morning prayer; the while ye doff your clothes for the noonday heat; and after the late-night prayer: these are your three times of undress: outside those times it is not wrong for you or for them to move about attending to each other: Thus does Allah make clear the Signs to you: for Allah is full of knowledge and wisdom.
— Abdullah Yusufali
O you who have faith! Your slaves and any of you who have not yet reached puberty should seek your permission three times: before the dawn prayer, and when you put off your garments at noon, and after the night prayer. These are three times of privacy for you. Apart from these, it is not sinful of you or them to frequent one another [freely]. Thus does Allah clarify the signs for you, and Allah is all-knowing, all-wise.
