And command the Muslim women to keep their gaze low and to protect their chastity, and not to reveal their adornment except what is apparent, and to keep the cover wrapped over their bosoms; and not to reveal their adornment except to their own husbands or fathers or husbands’ fathers, or their sons or their husbands’ sons, or their brothers or their brothers’ sons or sisters’ sons, or women of their religion, or the bondwomen they possess, or male servants provided they do not have manliness, or such children who do not know of women’s nakedness, and not to stamp their feet on the ground in order that their hidden adornment be known; and O Muslims, all of you turn in repentance together towards Allah, in the hope of attaining success. (It is incumbent upon women to cover themselves properly.)
و به زنان با ايمان بگو: «ديدگان خود را [از هر نامحرمى‌] فرو بندند و پاكدامنى ورزند و زيورهاى خود را آشكار نگردانند مگر آنچه كه طبعاً از آن پيداست. و بايد روسرى خود را بر گردن خويش [فرو ]اندازند، و زيورهايشان را جز براى شوهرانشان يا پدرانشان يا پدران شوهرانشان يا پسرانشان يا پسران شوهرانشان يا برادرانشان يا پسران برادرانشان يا پسران خواهرانشان يا زنان [همكيش‌] خود يا كنيزانشان يا خدمتكاران مرد كه [از زن‌] بى‌نيازند يا كودكانى كه بر عورتهاى زنان وقوف حاصل نكرده‌اند، آشكار نكنند؛ و پاهاى خود را [به گونه‌اى به زمين‌] نكوبند تا آنچه از زينتشان نهفته مى‌دارند معلوم گردد. اى مؤمنان، همگى [از مرد و زن‌] به درگاه خدا توبه كنيد، اميد كه رستگار شويد.
