Question about nudity

[redcarpet]

I wanted to know what the rules are regarding nudity because I go to gym regularly and play in a soccer team and in both regards I shower afterwards and change in the changing rooms.

Someone recently told me that what I was doing was haram (even though everyone there are men) so I wanted to find out.

A man's awrah in front of everyone but his wife is from the navel to the knees, it should be covered at all times, even in front of your brothers, friends, etc.

Are there no private showers you could use, ones with a door?

edit-Oh, also, in addition to your awrah being covered, you shouldn't look at the awrah of anyone else.

Just wear long shorts ahki, Allah is forgiving.

Wearing long shorts in a public shower will make him look stupid.
Perhaps you can wait for everyone to leave.

Hahaha...I love these impractical fiqh situations! They make Islam fun diddley fun!

Bro, as the sis below said, you have to cover from your knees to your belly...

So...unfortunately...you must stop going to the gym and playing soccer...every ounce of weight you put on will bear witness to your piety in the hereafter.

Man, I crack myself up. No...bro, c'mon..you can find your quirky little way around this. You can:

1. Pretend you are in a hurry all the time...go home and shower there.

2. Wear shorts, who cares what others think...if they pick on you...just abuse their masculinity and question why they want to see you nude.

3. Look for a shower with a door? A disabled toilet maybe?

4. Wait for people to go home.

5.Get a friend to hold up a towel for you? When I was about 6 (nawww) we used to do that with my muslim friend at swimming lessons. Yeah, I know it's not cute at your current age...but you might be able to get away with it for a few weeks...just be discreet :P

Rotate these reasons on a weekly basis...no one will catch your drift for a while :P

ORRRRRRR......you could just tell people you don't think it's right and that you are trying to establish a non-nude principle into your life...you know..most guys are probably insecure about this...and maybe they just pretend to not care...coz guys like doing that...so maybe voice your idea..and you may have some support from your team-mates...etc etc etc.

But yeah...as for the gym...just shower at home?

ok..i'll shut up. Its getting late on my end of the world. can you tell? *gone*

Wear a lungi :p

[sevgi]

Wear a lungi :p

What is that?

[Banu_Hashim]

^lol. They are comfortable... there's no doubt about that...

[sevgi]

Hah!

Style FAIL!

:P Atleast Zak is mindful of his awrah whilst sleeping.

Anywhoot.

[zAk]

A lungi is the kind of thing zAk probably goes to sleep in. :D

No! I don't. :raging:

Okay, maybe once or twice - when it's gharmi time. :-[

[Whatsthepoint]

You could be a goalie, they don't sweat as much.

[sevgi]

No! I don't. :raging:

What's gharmi? For someone who's besties are all South Asian...I am pretty embarassed of my lack of vocab and knowledge on these thangs...if this thang is indeed South Asian. It looks it I tells ya, it looks it.

You could be a goalie, they don't sweat as much.

Never under-estimate the heat potential urged upon the sweat glands by the extra few inches of fabric covering the forearms of the goalie uniform.

...and showering after a match with your Bruvas is just novel, man. It's gotta be done. Gotta.

[Muezzin]

Wait for all the men of questionable masculinity to finish their flabby scrubbing, then wrap a towel around your waist and shower.

Or you could shower at home.

[Yanal]

I play on a soccer team and shower at home,aswell. Buy we don't have showers so.

[sevgi]

Gharmi = hot. The weather in India probably makes zAk want to wear lungis. :><:

I was gonna wear ma pants...but then it hooott.

I know you guys don't believe in music...but if you catch the odd song reference from like 2000, it's actually quite funny...in your head...or maybe just mine.

You can't shower with a towel on. Absorption.

Muezzin:

Yanal:

Hehe...I was waiting for that one. Usually, I'd be the one saying it...but it's like 2.30am here and I've gone silly.

peace out.

[Muezzin]

Should indeed be closed.

Redcarpet, if you'd like for it to be re-opened, just drop myself or another mod a PM.

[zAk]

No! I don't. :raging:
