    By parting the legs too much while sitting or when walking women can show their
    hidden attractions. I never understood the reason for women to strike their feet or how
    that can show their attraction.

    This is my humble opinion of the verse and please add your thoughts.

    It doesnt say that this verse speaks of women in a perticular discourse as in walking or sitting.
    I rather say this is a matter of not letting someone in to easily.

      Hi Stephnie

      It is good to know that you are still reading Qur'an even after converting to Judaism. Keep it up.

          No offence elke and peace be on you.

          Peace everybody.

          Letting in too easily and moving the legs.....

          Only way you can let some one in is through marraige, easily or otherwise.

          If you let anyone in for money or gratification or because you are fast loose and easy or want to be accepted that is called zina. Its dealt sepatarely.

          Who is Stephanie btw

              Haha! Judaism where most of the koranic material comes from anyway so it's inevitable not read it, regardless in what book(s).

              St?phane (without an i 😉 )

              Letting in too easily and moving the legs.....

              Right, so you believe that there's nothing between a woman committing to a man through a ritual and selling the pleasures of her body for money? Give me a break...

                  I donlt think that a walking woman with parting legs will reveal her hidden attraction because a loose and long Jlibab (a dress) should take care of that

                  i don't believe a jilbab is absolutely necessary. Conventional jilbabs are far too long, you could easily trip over them, and they are extremely baggy and make you look 5 stones bigger.

                  "O prophet, tell your wives, your daughters, and the wives of the believers that they shall LENGTHEN their garments. Thus, they will be recognized and avoid being insulted. God is Forgiver, Most Merciful." 3359

                  With the Quran being a fully detailed, unambigious book if you reflect on this verse and how God ordered the prophet to tell his wives, his daughters and the wives of the believers to lengthen their garments, in this verse, God, DELIBERATELY said tell them to lengthen their garments, and never said how long is long. God could have said tell them to lengthen their garments to their ankles or to their mid-calf or to their knees, but HE DID NOT. God knows that we will be living in different communities and have different cultures and insists that the minor details of this dress code will be left for the people of every community to decide for themselves.

                  I would have expected a traditional muslim to say that a jilbab is required.

                    Peace,

                    Sugar, it doesn't really say that in arabic, it refers to jileb, meaning more loose-fitting clothes, then immediately lenghten your clothes.....

                        If i'm correct it refers more to hanging clothes... So they must hang from a certain point and not cling to your body in a thight way. But i need more research to give a better answer..

                            ...being a synonym "for marriage (the word you used)". As an adult (that I assume you are), can you just cut to the chase!

                                Obviously, you don't pay attention to what I say.
                                You suggested that separating the woman's legs refered to her as she is walking or sitting, i e when being observed in some way. On top of this excellent observation of the verb "D-r-b"'s meaning, I proposed to extend this meaning (since there's nothing in the text suggesting she is walking or sitting) to separating her legs seen from an intimate aspect and not public one. "...don't spread 'em", that is.

                                    Quote El Aziz

                                    "Right, so you believe that there's nothing between a woman committing to a man through a ritual and selling the pleasures of her body for money? Give me a break..."

                                    Where did you get this idea from.

                                    And how do you know what I believe ?

                                    Your sentence above is not clear " nothing between". Did you mean no difference.

                                    What ritual ? There are no rituals in marraige in the Quraan. Man agrees/pays the dower and gets married.

                                    What you are implicating is sex , not about revelaing hidden attractions which is a lesser offence. Prohibited sex is dealt in another place and it is called zina . If you read the verse 2430-31 its about looking and revealing.

                                    I didnt say walking only , in any stance or posture the way a woman keeps her legs whether
                                    apart / moving / crossing( Did elke mention about basic instinct) / one leg up
                                    and if that can reveal her hidden attractions ( part of the body , curves, out line, figure).

                                    Hope I am clear.

                                    I guess I am more adult than you. just kidding. No offence meant.

                                      Ok, it may be that I'm the one not expressing myself clear enough.
                                      I suggested that this verse is not implying the Darab-ing refering to something visual as on a police station when smoking, walking on the streets, standing in any posture - but rather what happens when a women spreads her legs. Understand me now?
