dress code on the beach
-
Salamun Alaykum,
i think those clothes are too tight,
its like wearing paint.you should probably swim in (decent) clothes,
or in a private pool
or not all all, you won't die from not being able to swim in the ocean
(btw, always check in the Quran before you do something)
may GOD guide you sister peace
They are tight.... Which is better for swimming.
No one should place hardship on themselves.
Intention is the key issue i think -
2430 Tell the acknowledging men to lower their gaze and guard their private parts, for that is purer for them. God is fully aware of what you do.
2431 Tell the acknowledging women to lower their gaze and guard their private parts, and that they should not show off their attraction except what is apparent, and let them cast their clothes over their cleavage...
I guess for the beach, a swim suite is OK.
It is, however a two-way deal. BOTH MEN AND WOMEN should LOWER THEIR GAZE and GUARD THEIR PRIVATE PARTS.Peace

Following your saying you should either
be rich and have your own private pool
or
not swim at allThis is not an answer, it is like
"-I would like to be a doctor- have you got enough money for Univercity
-No
-Ok, forget it, you will not die if you don't become a doc"
brickwall
You can always swim in your bath tub looooool
- have you got enough money for Univercity

You people are really hopelessly spoilt. What is that need now to swim in the middle of some water? You just go through the movements at home on the kitchen floor and those should be plenty of kicks. Throw some salt around to get the taste of it, and who needs to spend money on transport and all the discomfort...
Salaam

Guess we don't need to see the sun either, we should just stay indoors with the shades drawn and not ever see the light of day...

If the beach goers lower their gaze to the ankles , they wouldn't even notice what other people are wearing

Peace,
Well, I think it's up to everyone to choose what to wear on the beach.
If I really want to melt into the crowd of people on the beach I should wear a normal bikini or swimsuit that most women wear. If I wear strange clothes people will notice me more and I get attention that I don't want to get.
A suggestion is to wear bikini when you lay down to take sunburn and when you take a dip into the ocean but when you will take a longer walk along the beach and perhaps buy an ice-cream then you can put on a beach dress or something.

peace Maria, all,
Well, I think it's up to everyone to choose what to wear on the beach.
Depends on the aim. If part of the aim is to follow Al Quran then how can it be up to everyone to choose?
IF part of the aim is not to follow Al Quran, then yes, it is up to everyone to choose.
-
inevitably we all choose what we want. your suggestion of a bikini might work in some areas of the world in which the social construction says bikini is the thing to wear at a beach but not all places are like this. Also as people become aware of other people's beliefs and cultures they recognise the clothing as part of identity and do not look out of place. it's all about perceptions and social constructions..

I understand "lower their gaze" as idiomatic. It simply means not to stare at women the whole time and so on. It doesnt mean to physically lower their gaze. Otherwise you'd be walking around with your head facing downwards the whole time!
-
I think the lowering of the gaze can be physically done
I'll give you an example imagine you saw a really attractive guy/girl and you like unconsciously starred at them. IF you thought of lowering your gaze maybe instantly you would look down and distract your thoughts.
i don't mean you look down all the time but maybe you would lower your gaze initially and then be off to walking normally.
-
I think , we would draw more un-welcome attention/stare if we were to dress differently from other beach goers , and it all depends on our intention for going to the beach . Personally , I am more comfortable in a speedo at the beach , better for swimming ;D
-
estaghfirullahi 3atheem..... these women should have separate beaches where men and lesbians shouldn't be allowed to go...
Why?
Because you can't keep your privates to yourself?
C'mon guys, freedom means choice. We should be allowed to wear what we want. I don't want my choice of clothes to be dictated by others. -
I wouldn't wear a bikini, it would bear too much skin and doesn't exactly cover the breasts. and because i try follow Quran i'd say it's inappropriate. but you all have the choice to wear what you want. but my understanding of Quran and my acceptance of following it "dictates" what i wear. besides i'd become a stronger swimmer swimming even though it would be easier to swim in a speedo/bikini
salam.
