dress code on the beach
-
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..
-
If the beach goers lower their gaze to the ankles , they wouldn't even notice what other people are wearing
laugh
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.

Salaam Sarah,
Since you swim fully covered, have you checked out those "Islamic" swimsuits? (i.e. Burquini, Ahiida, Splashgear) They would be less heavy than wearing your clothes & scarf in the water, and I believe safer for you. -
Yeh i've seen them they're expensive
i'm a strong swimmer alhamdulillah besides it's not like i'm going 20m deep into the ocean so it's ok
also my bro and sis have a pool, so i don't always have to be fully covered, just in publicSalam
Salaam,
Lucky you! Wish I had my own pool ... maybe one day. ;D -
WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT DRESSING CODE, WE HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE LIVING EXAMPLE OF THE PROPHET
HE THAUGHT US ALL
INCLUDING HOW WE SHOULD DREE (BOTH MALE AND FEMALE)
IF YOU HAVE TO DRESS, U HAVE TO COVER YOUR BODY
ALLAHU ALAMU"...We did not leave ANYTHING out of this book." 638
"The word of your Lord is COMPLETE, in truth and justice. Nothing shall abrogate His words. He is the Hearer, the Omniscient." 6115
"Shall I seek other than GOD as a source of law, when He has revealed to you this book fully detailed? Those who received the scripture recognize that it has been revealed from your Lord, truthfully. You shall not harbor any doubt." 6114
"Have they not looked at the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all the things God has created? Does it ever occur to them that the end of their life may be near? Which HADITH, besides this (Quran) do they believe in?" 7185
Muhammed cannot prohibit things
"O you prophet, why do you prohibit what GOD has made lawful for you, just to please your wives? GOD is Forgiver, Merciful." 661"Hijab" or veil can be traced back to early civilizations. It can be found in early and late Roman and Greek art. The evidence can be seen in archeological discoveries whether in pottery fragments, paintings or recorded civil laws. In Greco-Roman culture, both women and men wore head covering in religious contexts. The tradition of wearing the veil (by women) and the headcover (by men) was then adopted by the Jews who wrote it in the Talmud (Talmud equals the Hadiths and Sunna, neither are the words of God) then the Christians adopted the same. A well respected Rabbi once explained to a group of Jewish young women, "We do not find a direct command in the Torah mandating that women cover their heads, but we do know that this has been the continuing custom for thousands of years." After the prophet Muhammad's death , the writers of the hadith books adopted and encouraged the ancient tradition of head covering. Hadith book' writers took after the Jews as they did with many other traditions , and alleged them to the prophet since the Quran did not command it.
Any student of the Jewish traditions or religious books will see that head cover for the Jewish woman (and men) has been encouraged by the Rabbis and religious leaders. Observant Jewish women still cover their heads most of the time and specially in the synagogues, weddings, and religious festivities.
Christian women cover their heads in many religious occasions while the nuns cover their heads all the time.
The Quran doesnt say that women have to cover their hair. Give me one Quranic verse that proves such a thing, if you think you are right.
Peace

aynur i wish i had my own pool too!
yaya - so you follow everything 'according to the prophet'?
So if I was to follow the prophet in everything including wearing Arabic clothing ? What about my following "the Sunnah" of the prophet by having many wives ? ( some says 9 wives , others say more ) , I wish.......... ;D
