أَيْنَمَا تَكُونُوا يُدْرِكُّمُ الْمَوْتُ وَلَوْ كُنتُمْ فِي بُرُوج ٍ مُشَيَّدَة ٍ وَإِنْ تُصِبْهُمْ حَسَنَة ٌ يَقُولُوا هَذِه ِِ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللَّهِ وَإِنْ تُصِبْهُمْ سَيِّئَة ٌ يَقُولُوا هَذِه ِِ مِنْ عِنْدِكَ قُلْ كُلّ ٌ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللَّهِ فَمَالِ هَاؤُلاَء الْقَوْمِ لاَ يَكَادُونَ يَفْقَهُونَ حَدِيثا ً

And the women who are past child bearing, who no longer seek to get married, have no sin upon them if they put-off their garments, provided they are not adorned for beauty. And if they remain as they were, then it is better for them. God is Hearer, Knower.
