The Standard of Elderly Women and Their Characteristics

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the standard for elderly women? And what are the characteristics of those women whose hands may be shaken?

Answer:
My brother, this is mentioned in the Qur'an:
And women of post-menstrual age who have no desire for marriageوَالْقَوَاعِدُ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ اللَّاتِي لَا يَرْجُونَ نِكَاحًا
[An-Nur 24:60]
This is the criterion: they are those in whom no one has desire or hope, because of their old age.
