Understand If Thighs Are Part Of Awrah And How They Change In Base Of Urf
It is better to cover your thigh to fulfil the directive of وَ یَحْفَظْنَ فُرُوْجَھُنَّ . Covering of thighs is required to ensure proper and compete covering of the private parts. In normal circumstances, they should be covered. However, if because of a certain situation or event etc. thighs or a part thereof are exposed, then it is not same as exposing the private parts. Such exposure is acceptable. Social norms are acceptable to an extent where they do not start conflicting with the primary directives of religion. As soon as one realizes that the current social dress norms of where they live are resulting in direct violation of یَحْفَظْنَ فُرُوْجَھُنَّ directive, then such norms should be abandoned. Exposure of thigh is not a matter of Sin, exposure of private parts is a matter of Sin. Thighs are covered to make sure private parts do not get exposed, not even slightly.
