Commentary

The aim from Ziinat is natural beauty of women’s body or any part of their body and that beauty which is gotten by wearing ornaments and garments etc. In the beginning, believing men and women were instructed that they should lower their gaze. And it was commanded to them clearly that they should not open their body parts which are required to be kept covered. Moreover, the women were directed that except face, hands and feet, they should not expose their decoration and any part of their body or its adornment before the common people save those men who have been described in this verse. The women have to keep their faces, hands, feet and ornaments opened under the orders of necessity. The men should keep their eyes lower, and this commandment for women is in all conditions whether they are at home or outside the house.

It is commanded: It is compulsory for the women that they should keep their veils drawn over their bosoms. In addition, it is commanded concerning common body parts that they should not reveal their forms and adornments before any other, but their husbands, fathers, fathers-in-law, sons, brothers, step sons, brothers’ and sisters’ sons (nephews). Remember it that it is the commandment of that society, in which men and women (both) lower their gaze.
