Adnan Oktar (Harun Yahya)


             Say to the believers that they should lower their eyes and guard
             their chastity. That is purer for them. God is aware of what they
             do. Say to the believing women that they should lower their eyes
             and guard their chastity and not display their adornments–except

             for what normally shows–and draw their veils across their breasts.
             They should only display their adornments to their husbands or
             their fathers or their husbands’ fathers, or their sons or their hus-
             bands’ sons or their brothers or their brothers’ sons or their sisters’
             sons or their women or those they own as slaves or their male atten-
             dants who have no sexual desire or children who still have no aware-
             ness of women’s private parts. Nor should they stamp their feet so

             that their hidden ornaments are known. Turn to God every one of
             you, believers, so that hopefully you will have success. (Surat an-
             Nur, 30-31)
             As for women who are past child-bearing age and no longer have

             ing their outer clothes, provided they do not flaunt their adorn-
             ments; but to refrain from doing so is better for them. God is All-
             Hearing, All-Knowing. (Surat an-Nur, 60)

             If any of you do not have the means to marry free women who are
             believers, you may marry slavegirls who are believers. God knows
             best about your faith; you are all the same in that respect. Marry
             them with their owners’ permission and give them their dowries
             correctly and courteously as married women, not in fornication or
             taking them as lovers… (Surat an-Nisa’, 25)

             Those who cannot find the means to marry should be abstinent
             until God enriches them from His bounty… (Surat an-Nur, 33)
             O Prophet! Tell your wives and daughters and the women of the
