Veil covering the face
فس، تفسير القمي وَ الْقَواعِدُ مِنَ النِّساءِ اللَّاتِي لا يَرْجُونَ نِكاحاً فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِنَّ جُناحٌ أَنْ يَضَعْنَ ثِيابَهُنَّ غَيْرَ مُتَبَرِّجاتٍ بِزِينَةٍ
(The book) ‘Tafseer Al-Qummi’ –
And the post-menopausal from the women, those who do not hope for marriage, there isn’t any blame upon them if they put off their clothes without displaying the ornaments [24:60].
قَالَ نَزَلَتْ فِي الْعَجَائِزِ اللَّاتِي قَدْ يَئِسْنَ مِنَ الْمَحِيضِ وَ التَّزْوِيجِ أَنْ يَضَعْنَ النِّقَابَ ثُمَّ قَالَ وَ أَنْ يَسْتَعْفِفْنَ خَيْرٌ لَهُنَ أَيْ لَا يَظْهَرْنَ لِلرِّجَالِ
He said, ‘It was Revealed regarding the old women who have despaired from the menstruation and the marriage, to put off their ‘النِّقَابَ’ face veil. Then He-azwj Said: And if they modestly refrain, it would be better for them [24:60] – i.e. not revealing to the men’.[1]
