28 : 24

فَإِن لَّمۡ تَجِدُواْ فِيهَآ أَحَدٗا فَلَا تَدۡخُلُوهَا حَتَّىٰ يُؤۡذَنَ لَكُمۡۖ وَإِن قِيلَ لَكُمُ ٱرۡجِعُواْ فَٱرۡجِعُواْۖ هُوَ أَزۡكَىٰ لَكُمۡۚ وَٱللَّهُ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ عَلِيمٞ

28. If you do not find anyone therein, then do not enter until permission is given to you. If you are told: "Go back", then go back. This is purer for you. Allāh of what you do is All-Knower.

29 : 24

لَّيۡسَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ جُنَاحٌ أَن تَدۡخُلُواْ بُيُوتًا غَيۡرَ مَسۡكُونَةٖ فِيهَا مَتَٰعٞ لَّكُمۡۚ وَٱللَّهُ يَعۡلَمُ مَا تُبۡدُونَ وَمَا تَكۡتُمُونَ

29. There is no sin on you that you enter (without asking permission) houses not inhabited ^[12] wherein some provision ^[13] for you. For Allāh knows what you reveal and what you conceal.

[12]. Public places as in the case of travellers inns and charitable hostels.
[13]. Such as rest, shelter, commodities, one's personal belongings, etc.

30 : 24

قُل لِّلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ يَغُضُّواْ مِنۡ أَبۡصَٰرِهِمۡ وَيَحۡفَظُواْ فُرُوجَهُمۡۚ ذَٰلِكَ أَزۡكَىٰ لَهُمۡۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ خَبِيرُۢ بِمَا يَصۡنَعُونَ

30. Tell to the believing men to (maintain their modesty,) lower their gaze (from what is unlawful) ^[14] and guard their private parts. This is purer for them. Surely Allāh is All-Aware of what they do.

[14]. Such as looking with lust at women who are not their wives. Anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed sin in his heart.

31 : 24

وَقُل لِّلۡمُؤۡمِنَٰتِ يَغۡضُضۡنَ مِنۡ أَبۡصَٰرِهِنَّ وَيَحۡفَظۡنَ فُرُوجَهُنَّ وَلَا يُبۡدِينَ زِينَتَهُنَّ إِلَّا مَا ظَهَرَ مِنۡهَاۖ وَلۡيَضۡرِبۡنَ بِخُمُرِهِنَّ عَلَىٰ جُيُوبِهِنَّۖ وَلَا يُبۡدِينَ زِينَتَهُنَّ إِلَّا لِبُعُولَتِهِنَّ أَوۡ ءَابَآئِهِنَّ أَوۡ ءَابَآءِ بُعُولَتِهِنَّ أَوۡ أَبۡنَآئِهِنَّ أَوۡ أَبۡنَآءِ بُعُولَتِهِنَّ أَوۡ إِخۡوَٰنِهِنَّ أَوۡ بَنِيٓ إِخۡوَٰنِهِنَّ أَوۡ بَنِيٓ أَخَوَٰتِهِنَّ أَوۡ نِسَآئِهِنَّ أَوۡ مَا مَلَكَتۡ أَيۡمَٰنُهُنَّ أَوِ ٱلتَّٰبِعِينَ غَيۡرِ أُوْلِي ٱلۡإِرۡبَةِ مِنَ ٱلرِّجَالِ أَوِ ٱلطِّفۡلِ ٱلَّذِينَ لَمۡ يَظۡهَرُواْ عَلَىٰ عَوۡرَٰتِ ٱلنِّسَآءِۖ وَلَا يَضۡرِبۡنَ بِأَرۡجُلِهِنَّ لِيُعۡلَمَ مَا يُخۡفِينَ مِن زِينَتِهِنَّۚ وَتُوبُوٓاْ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ جَمِيعًا أَيُّهَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تُفۡلِحُونَ

31. Tell to the believing women to (maintain their modesty,) lower their gaze ^[15] and guard their private parts. Let them not display their beauty (whether natural or with make-up) except what (must unavoidably) appear thereof ^[16], and let them draw their veils over their (heads, faces, and) chests (and what is beyond), and let them not display their (hidden) beauty except to their husbands or (only part of their beauty such as their faces, necks, hands to) their fathers, or the fathers of their husbands, or their sons, or the sons of their husbands, or their brothers, or their brother’s sons, or their sister’s sons, or their women, or those whom their right hands possess, or male attendants (devoid of sexual feeling), or children who are not yet aware of the private aspects of women; and they should not strike their legs (i.e., stamp their feet) so that whatever adornment they hide may be known. Turn to Allāh all of you in repentance, O believers, that you may succeed and prosper.

[15]. In the presence of men who are not near of kin and so lawful for marriage.
[16]. I.e., the outer garments or whatever might appear out of necessity, such as a part of the face or the palms of hands.
