The Holy Quran 7:28 — Surah Al-A'raf

Arabic text

وَإِذَا فَعَلُوا۟ فَـٰحِشَةً قَالُوا۟ وَجَدْنَا عَلَيْهَآ ءَابَآءَنَا وَٱللَّهُ أَمَرَنَا بِهَا ۗ قُلْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَأْمُرُ بِٱلْفَحْشَآءِ ۖ أَتَقُولُونَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ

Translation

When they (the Kuffaar) commit an immoral (evil) act, they say, "We found our forefathers on this (doing or believing this) and Allaah has commanded us with it." Say, "Surely Allaah does not command immoral (evil) behaviour (like making tawaf naked)! Do you speak such things against Allaah for which you have no proof?"

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The condemnation of indecencies: that is, evil and shameless deeds, for example men and women performing tawaf (circumambulation of the Kaaba) naked, which is the occasion of revelation of these verses, deeds from which sound reason and unspoilt nature recoil. It is not befitting for the Most Holy Allah to teach them.
