Opinion Of Some Companions, Taba’In And Early Jurists On Hijab (Surah An-Nur)
This is in the situation when these elderly women are wearing adornment, jewellery etc. They are allowed to not cover their adornment unlike young women. This is all about covering zeenat. Hijab on the other hand is altogether a different thing. It means that a woman has to cover herself with extra garment no matter she is wearing adornment or not. This kind of Hijab is not ordained or was it practiced in Arabia.
