Surat an-Nur Verse 31, 1st Part

should lower their eyes and guard their
chastity and not display their adornments –

except for what normally shows – and draw

their head-coverings across their breasts. They
should only display their adornments to their

husbands or their fathers or their husbands'
fathers, or their sons or their husbands' sons or

their brothers or their brothers' sons or their sis-

should they stamp their feet so that their hid-

one of you, believers, so that hopefully you will

have success. (Qur'an, 24:31)
