Ibtisam non muslim women are not on the same level as non-mahram men :eek: where did you get that? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ibtisam Posted January 19, 2007 ^^apologies that should have said Mahram MEN: 1. What the Muslim woman can uncover in front of a kaafir woman is the same as what she can uncover in front of her mahrams, i.e., the places of adornment or the places of wudoo’. Shaykh Muhammad Saalih ibn ‘Uthaymeen said: “In front of her mahrams she can uncover her face, head, neck, hands, forearms, feet and calves, and she should cover everything else.” (Fataawaa al-Mar’ah al-Muslimah, 1/417). Allaah knows best, thanks for the correction. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nehanda Posted January 19, 2007 It all bodes down to confidence, I do not see what's so revealing in wearing a swimming costume be that a bikini? That's in front of other women you all have the same body items albeit in differing sizes! You go there to swim not eye the bodyshape of your fellow swimmer! In addition, swimming is good for you hence why swim in discomforting items such as diraax just so to please others rather than yourself. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NGONGE Posted January 19, 2007 Wear a dirac sheed with the word NIKE emblazoned all over it. If you're really a good swimmer then change the Nike to SPEEDO. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

-Lily- Posted January 19, 2007 It seems I'm a bit too late for this topic. There are several good women only pools in NW london. Val, where is it on sundays? I think we are in the same area. I think all this T-shirt dirac business swimming is ridicules. Swim with a swimsuit. everyone in my pool is 99% Muslim and they all sport bikinis and swim suits. The most covered person wears a legins and a tank top. Ibtisam, why should we take some sheiqs word? This is ridicules, we might as well not breathe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Che -Guevara Posted January 19, 2007 How does one become a lifegaurd at these all Muslim swimming pools. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pujah Posted January 19, 2007 One of the requirements is being a woman. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-Lily- Posted January 19, 2007 Che, you would have to turn into a woman. We have a beedy eyed lifeguard, she is always in a trance, I doubt she would notice if anyone was drowning. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Che -Guevara Posted January 19, 2007 ^^^I like women, but don't wanna be one. Anyway, isn't this discriminatory. Iam sure they would be violating some labor laws. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
