حدود عورة المرأة أمام المحارم : دراسة فقهية مقارنة

Abstract EN

Islam pays due attention to protecting and preserving the woman's body parts from being exposed to others.

So, it has prescribed specified limits for the body parts that a woman may show before males and females, and set some rules to keep these parts honorably concealed.

These rules aim to preserve the honor as one of the essentials that Islam orders to preserve.

Recently, it was noticed that the commitment to cover these specific body parts, especially in front of unmarriageable males and children, is not strictly observed.

The study concluded that the Islamic Law has permitted women to expose these body parts only to the necessary extent.

These woman's body parts to show before her unmarriageable male are restricted to the parts that may normally be shown in the course of her ordinary duties.

The limit differs according to the degree of relation and the risk of sexual temptation (fitnah).

The body parts that the women have to cover in front of young children are the same as those they have to cover before their unmarriageable males.

Likewise, they have to cover the same parts before both the adolescent and the adults.
