The ruling on an elderly woman uncovering herself

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the questioner asks: Is it permissible for a woman who is fifty or sixty years old to uncover herself? And is she considered among the *qawa'id* (elderly women who no longer desire marriage)?

Answer:
Allah (Mighty and Majestic) defined the *qawa'id* in His saying: . They are those from whom one has no hope of marriage, meaning they are no longer suitable for enjoyment due to their advanced age, and no one desires them. As for those who are fifty, sixty, or seventy, they are still desired, especially if they are beautiful and in good physical condition; people desire them, and they desire others as well. It is only the woman whose desire has ceased due to old age and senility, and people no longer look at her, and there is no temptation in her, that falls into this category. Yes.
