AsalamuAlaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh,

Answered by Shaykh Abdurrahman ibn Yusuf Mangera

Could you please provide me with evidence on why it is permissible for a woman to show her feet. There is evidence in the hadith about showing the hands and face, but I have not seen any regarding showing the feet.

In the name of Allah the Inspirer of truth.

The reason the feet are also exempt from being covered during salat is that they has been considered as "that which is normally revealed thereof" in the following verse of the Qur'an:

"She should not display her beauty except that which is revealed thereof" (Sura Nur).

The scholars of the Hanafi school have considered that the feet are also exempt just like the face and hands for the following reasons: (1) they can easily become uncovered while walking (even if the women is wearing a long garment), especially in the case of poorer people (who may not have the means to possess socks) and (2) if the face, which is more a place of attraction, is exempted by this verse then more conclusively the feet should also be exempted. Furthermore, there is nothing categorically related that makes them out to be part of the awra.

Having said this, covering them in salat to observe the etiquette of the difference of opinion with other schools who consider them part of the awra, though not necessary, would be a worthy deed. Likewise, it is more preferable to have them covered to minimize attraction.

And Allah knows best.

Abdurrahman ibn Yusuf

[Pk_#2]

[IbnAbdulHakim]

the prophet saws encouraged us to leave that which we have doubt for that which we have no doubt

 

[Helena]

I'll buy you a pair LOLL

trainers...lol....not with my style...

i usually wear pointy flat shoes...obviously would wear tights(black), or boots(socks)

am talking about summer sis......its pretty hot to wear tights or socks...soo some part of my feet shows....i avoid wearing sandles....

 

[hissa]

Asalamalikum,

I always assumed that feet were a women's awrah... I never sandles and I'm never barefoot around non-mahrams.. but like already mentioned, I guess it depends on the madhab you follow..
So... Allahu 'Alim

AsalamuAlaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh,

No i can't show my flesh no more, (phobhia) lol NOT

Question:
What is the definition of the ‘awrah between a woman and her brother? What is the ‘awrah between a girl and her mother or sister?.

Answer:
Praise be to Allaah.

Firstly:
The ‘awrah of a woman in front of her mahrams such as her father, brother and nephew is her entire body except that which usually appears such as the face, hair, neck, forearms and feet. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“and not to show off their adornment except only that which is apparent (like both eyes for necessity to see the way, or outer palms of hands or one eye or dress like veil, gloves, headcover, apron), and to draw their veils all over Juyoobihinna (i.e. their bodies, faces, necks and bosoms) and not to reveal their adornment except to their husbands, or their fathers, or their husband’s fathers, or their sons, or their husband’s sons, or their brothers or their brother’s sons, or their sister’s sons, or their (Muslim) women”
[al-Noor 24:31].

lol recently i felt more attracted towards the hanbali madhab because their evidences are much stronger, and all their ways you will find to be more saheeh

Allahu a'lam, i still love all four imams of course, abu hanifa wallahi every time i read anything about him i wish he was around so i could hug him



btw does it seem like theres hardly anything out there about imam shafi'i and malik, i wanted to read up about them but i cant find much literature however i've read loads on imam ahmad and imam abu hanifa!

 

[chacha_jalebi]

to be honest, ive neva followed a madhad, jus follow Quran + Sunnah ya get me but obv wen u need a opinion u can alwys look@ Quran,sunnah and the heavy works of the 4 imams

 

[Pk_#2]

My teacher gave me a link about them - all four imams

MashaAllah excellent website !

i'll try dig it out for u fish

Peace!

 

[Malaikah]

So basically the hanafi scholars don't have any actual real proof that feet aren't awrah?

*sigh* I miss my open shoes.
