On the other hand, in front of non-Muslim women, a woman's entire body except for the parts that are typically exposed during work, such as the head, neck, arms (up to the shoulders), and legs (up to the knees) should be covered. A bikini would not fulfill any of these requirements and therefore would be considered impermissible even in a women’s only setting.","tags":[{"_id":"668d9fde0b76658b4c232779","tag":"Women: Modesty","count":60}],"createdOn":"2024-07-09T20:38:59.400Z"}
