regarding the older women?

The student: ...
The Shaykh : If she is an old woman, there is no objection. If a person brings an old woman servant into the house, it is permissible for her to uncover herself; there is no harm. The student: She does not travel except with a mahram...
The Shaykh : A mahram. The hadith is general: she does not travel except with a mahram.
The student: ...
The Shaykh : And what is the condition? Because if there is no seclusion in the house...
The student: ...
The Shaykh : The condition is reaching the age of maturity, which is fifteen years old... The book has no title, and so I crossed it out... because you are the one concerned.
That Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, specified, or rather made it obligatory, that the young ones and the slaves seek permission in three times: the first before the Fajr prayer, the second when you remove your clothes at midday, and the third after the 'Isha' prayer. And Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, explained the wisdom behind this, that these three times are the times of a person's exposure. Perhaps a person enters without seeking permission and finds him in a state of exposure, meaning in a state that is ugly to see and reprehensible. And I think we have not spoken about the benefits. It was also previously mentioned that there is no blame on them or on their guardians after these three times for entering without seeking permission. And Allah explained the wisdom behind that as well, that they move around us, some of us moving around others in a fluctuating manner, and making it obligatory to seek permission in every instance of their fluctuation would be a hardship and difficulty.
