"O ye who believe! let those whom your right hands possess, and the [children] among you who have not come of age ask your permission [before they come to your presence], on three occasions: before morning prayer; the while ye doff your clothes for the noonday heat; and after the late-night prayer: these are your three times of undress: outside those times it is not wrong for you or for them to move about attending to each other: Thus does Allah make clear the Signs to you: for Allah is full of knowledge and wisdom."— Yusuf Ali translation
