As for those of your women who have reached menopause, if you have any doubts, their term shall be three months-and also for those who have not yet menstruated. As for those who are pregnant, their term shall be until they have delivered. Whoever fears God-He will make things easy for him.
Does the Qur'an mention women past menstruation (menopause)?
In short
- The text says: women who no longer menstruate wait three months after a divorce, where Itani has reached menopause, Pickthall and Palmer despair of menstruation, Rodwell has no hope of the recurrence of their times and Sale has despair having their courses, by reason of their age (65:4); women past child-bearing who have no hope of marriage may lay aside their outer garments, without a display of adornment (24:60); and Abraham's wife asks how she shall bear a child as an old woman (11:72), a barren old woman (51:29).
- The text does not say: at what age menstruation ends, or anything about the change itself.
- The rest comes from: this study names no source outside the Qur'an; the verses carried answer the question as far as it goes.
Where the renderings split
65:4, Itani: "those of your women who have reached menopause"
65:4, Pickthall: "such of your women as despair of menstruation"
65:4, Palmer: "such of your women as despair of menstruation"
65:4, Rodwell: "such of your wives as have no hope of the recurrence of their times"
65:4, Sale: "such of your wives as shall despair having their courses, by reason of their age"
Key findingsEditorial
One finding for each passage this study carries, in the order the study reads them. Each is the reason that passage was signed into the study, in full and unedited - including, where the renderings disagree, the disagreement.
- 01 65:4 Women who no longer menstruate wait three months after a divorce; the five render that state five ways
- 02 24:60 Women past child-bearing, who have no hope of marriage, may lay aside their outer garments
- 03 11:72 Abraham's wife asks how she shall bear a child, an old woman
- 04 51:29 Abraham's wife: a barren old woman
In plain wordsEditorial written by the editors, not a translation
Yes, twice in rulings and twice in a story. At 65:4 women who no longer menstruate have their own waiting term, and the five name them five ways; only Itani uses the word menopause. Only Sale adds "by reason of their age".
At 24:60 the same stage of life is named by child-bearing: Pickthall has "women past child-bearing, who have no hope of marriage", and they may lay aside their outer garments "in such a way as not to show adornment". The verse adds, in Itani's words, "But to maintain modesty is better for them".
In the story of Abraham's wife the stage of life is the surprise. At 11:72 Pickthall has "Shall I bear a child when I am an old woman"; at 51:29 she says, in Pickthall's words, "A barren old woman".
The verses do not give an age, and they say nothing of the change itself.
Scope of this study
This platform shows the verse, its easy-read line, its translations, a plain-words reading, and each verse among its neighbours. It does not supply occasion of revelation, interpretation (tafsir) or history, and it never invents them.
What this rests on
Opens with 65:4, widening across 4 passages in all.
Easy-read
Easy-read is a simplified pronunciation, not authoritative — a rule-by-rule romanisation, not a reading. Each verse ends in its pause form, as it is said when you stop there. Pauses inside a verse and other tajwid rules are not shown. It is derived from the Tanzil Simple edition, while the Arabic above is the Uthmani edition; both are cleared, but they are not the same edition and their orthography differs.

Und diejenigen von euren Frauen, die keine Menstruation mehr erwarten, wenn ihr Zweifel habt, so beträgt ihre Wartezeit drei Monate; und ebenso derjenigen, die (noch) keine Menstruation haben. Diejenigen, die schwanger sind - ihre (Warte)frist ist (erreicht), wenn sie mit dem niederkommen, was sie (in ihren Leibern) tragen. Und wer Allah fürchtet, dem schafft Er in seiner Angelegenheit Erleichterung.
Και όσο για τις γυναίκες σας στην εμμηνόπαυση, γι’ αυτές - αν αμφιβάλλετε - η ‘Εΐντα (περίοδος αναμονής) τους είναι τρεις μήνες· (το ίδιο) και γι’ αυτές που δεν έχουν ακόμη έμμηνο ρύση.

E per quelle tra le vostre donne che hanno raggiunto la menopausa – se ne siete in dubbio – il loro termine è di tre mesi; altrettanto vale per quelle che non hanno il ciclo, e per le gestanti, il loro termine scade col parto. E a chi teme Allāh, Lui agevolerà la vita.

O tų iš jūsų moterų tarpo, kurios daugiau nebesitiki menstruacijų, jei jūs abejojate (dėl jų menstruacijų) – tada jų laikotarpis (ida) yra trys mėnesiai ir tų, kurios neturi menstruacijų (t. y. dar nepasiekusių brandos), jų ida (laukimo laikotarpis) yra (taip pat) trys mėnesiai, išskyrus mirties atveju. O tų, kurios laukiasi (ar jos būtų išsiskyrusios ar našlės), jų ida (laukimo laikotarpis) yra iki kol jos pagimdys. Ir kas bijo Allaho ir išpildo savo pareigas Jam, tam Jis palengvins jo reikalus.

А те из ваших женщин, которые утратили надежду на [возобновление] менструаций, — если вы сомневаетесь, то их срок — три месяца, и то же — для тех, у кого ещё не было менструаций. А беременные — их срок до тех пор, пока они не разрешатся от бремени. А кто боится Аллаха, тому Он устроит облегчение в его деле.
А оне ваше жене, које су изгубиле наду у месечно прање - ако сумњате - оне треба да чекају три месеца, а и оне које га још нису добиле! Време чекања за трудне жене јесте порођај. А ономе ко се Аллаха боји, Он ће му у свему олакшати.

Om ni är osäkra kring väntetiden för de av era kvinnor vars menstruation har upphört [för gott], är den tre månader, och samma gäller för de som inte får menstruation. För gravida är väntetiden tills de föder sitt barn. Den som fruktar Gud ska han göra det lätt för.
Kadınlarınızdan âdetten kesilmiş olanlar hakkında (hüküm nedir diye) tereddüt ederseniz, onların bekleme süresi üç aydır. Henüz âdet görmemiş olanlar da böyledir. Hamile kadınların bekleme süresi, yüklerini bırakıncaya kadardır. Kim Allah’tan sakınırsa, ona işinde bir kolaylık sağlar.

Women past the age of childbearing, who have no desire for marriage, commit no wrong by taking off their outer clothing, provided they do not flaunt their finery. But to maintain modesty is better for them. God is Hearing and Knowing.
Compare translations (4)
As for women past child-bearing, who have no hope of marriage, it is no sin for them if they discard their (outer) clothing in such a way as not to show adornment. But to refrain is better for them. Allah is Hearer, Knower
And those women who have stopped (child-bearing), who do not hope for a match, it is no crime on them that they put off their clothes so as not to display their ornaments; but that they abstain is better for them, for God both hears and knows
As to women who are past childbearing, and have no hope of marriage, no blame shall attach to them if they lay aside their outer garments, but so as not to shew their ornaments. Yet if they abstain from this, it will be better for them: and God Heareth, Knoweth
As to such women as are past child-bearing, who hope not to marry again, because of their advanced age; it shall be no crime in them, if they lay aside their outer garments, not shewing their ornaments; but if they abstain from this, it will be better for them. God both heareth and knoweth

Për gratë (e moshuara) që nuk kanë më të përmuajshme dhe nuk shpresojnë të martohen, nuk është gjynah të heqin petkun e jashtëm pa shfaqur bukurinë e tyre. Por, nëse përmbahen, kjo është më mirë për to. Allahu është Gjithëdëgjues, i Gjithëdijshëm.
আর বৃদ্ধা নারীরা, যাদের বিবাহের প্রতি কোন আগ্রহ নেই, তাদের জন্য কোনো দোষ নেই, যদি তারা তাদের সৌন্দর্য প্রদর্শন না করে তাদের কিছু পোশাক খুলে রাখে। তবে এ থেকে বিরত থাকাই তাদের জন্য উত্তম। আর আল্লাহ সর্বশ্রোতা, মহাজ্ঞানী।
A starim ženama koje više ne žude za udajom nije grijeh da odlože ogrtače svoje, ali ne pokazujući ona mjesta na kojima se ukrasi nose; a bolje im je da budu kreposne. Allah sve čuje i zna.

ცოდვად არ ეთვლებათ მოხუც ქალებს, რომელთაც გათხოვების იმედი აღარ აქვთ, ზედა სამოსი გაიხადონ ისე, რომ არ გამოაჩინონ თავისი სამშვენისები. ხოლო თუ თავშეკავებას გამოიჩენენ, უმჯობესი იქნება მათთვის. და ალლაჰი ყოვლისმსმენი, ყოვლისმცოდნეა.
Und für diejenigen unter den Frauen, die sich zur Ruhe gesetzt haben (- damit sind Frauen im sehr hohen Alter gemeint -) und nicht mehr zu heiraten hoffen, ist es kein Vergehen, wenn sie ihre (Ober-)Gewänder ablegen, ohne jedoch ihren Schmuck zur Schau zu stellen. Doch sich (dessen) zu enthalten, ist besser für sie. Und Allah ist allhörend und allwissend.
Όσο για τις ηλικιωμένες γυναίκες (που είναι στην εμμηνόπαυση), οι οποίες δεν έχουν πια επιθυμία για γάμο, δεν υπάρχει αμαρτία σ' αυτές να βγάλουν (ένα μέρος από) τα (εξωτερικά) ενδύματά τους (δηλ. το Τζιλμπάμπ, που φοριέται πάνω από τα ρούχα και πάνω από το Χιμάρ), χωρίς να δείξουν τα στολίδια τους. Αλλά το να μη βγάλουν τα (εξωτερικά) ενδύματά τους, είναι καλύτερο γι’ αυτές. Πράγματι, ο Αλλάχ είναι Σαμεί‘ (Αυτός που ακούει τα πάντα) και ‘Αλείμ (Παντογνώστης).
तथा जो बूढ़ी स्त्रियाँ विवाह की आशा न रखती हों, उनपर कोई दोष नहीं कि अपनी (पर्दे की) चादरें उतारकर रख दें, प्रतिबंध यह है कि किसी प्रकार की शोभा का प्रदर्शन करने वाली न हों। और यदि (इससे भी) बचें[42] तो उनके लिए अधिक अच्छा है। और अल्लाह सब कुछ सुनने वाला, सब कुछ जानने वाला है।
E non peccano le donne anziane che, non sperando più di unirsi, si liberano dei loro indumenti esteriori, non mostrando le loro grazie; ma se non lo fanno, è meglio per loro. E Allāh è Ascoltatore, Sapiente.
60. Ir moterys po vaikų gimdymo (amžiaus), kurios nesitiki santuokos, nėra nuodėmės joms, jei jos atsisakytų savo (išorinių) drabužių tokiu būdu, kad neparodytų savo grožybių. Tačiau susilaikyti (t. y. neatsisakyti savo išorinių drabužių) yra geriau joms. Ir Allahas yra Visa Girdintis, Visa Žinantis.

Престарелые из женщин, которые уже не надеются на замужество — нет на них греха, если они снимают свои [верхние] одежды, не выставляя напоказ украшений. Но воздержаться [от этого] им — лучше для них. Аллах — слышащий, знающий.
А старим женама које више не жуде за удајом није грех да одложе огртаче своје, али не показујући она места на којима се украси носе; а боље им је да буду крепосне. Аллах све чује и зна.
Na wanawake wazee wasiotaraji kuolewa, si vibaya kwao kupunguza nguo zao, bila ya kujishaua kwa mapambo. Na wakijiheshimu ni bora kwao. Na Mwenyezi Mungu ni Mwenye kusikia, Mwenye kujua.
Äldre kvinnor som inte längre önskar gifta sig begår ingen synd om de lättar på sin klädsel, så länge de inte visar sin utsmyckning. Men att avstå från det är bättre för dem. Gud hör allt, vet allt.
Evlenme arzusu kalmayıp, oturan yaşlı kadınların, süslerini açığa vurmaksızın (dış) elbiselerini çıkarmalarında kendileri için bir günah/sakınca yoktur. İffetli olmaları/örtülerini giymeleri kendileri için daha hayırlıdır. Allah her şeyi hakkıyla işitendir, her şeyi hakkıyla bilendir.
