What Is Aurat
Oh, I see. Now I understand a little better. I understand that private parts must be covered, and the areas surrounding them must also be covered for better modesty. But not covering the areas around the private parts (like the thighs and stomach) isn’t automatically a sin, because it depends on the local culture and society I also understand that covering private areas is universally accepted—not just by Muslims, but non-Muslims agree on this as well. This means covering private areas is part of human nature. There might be some places where people don’t mind being naked, like public bathhouses in Japan (onsen), but that only applies to people of the same gender, not the opposite gender. Am I correct, sir?
There is no concept of Hijab in Islam. Both men and women have been asked to guard their private parts and their gazes. If women have adorned themseoves then they are asked to cover their adornment except for that which usually stays exposed. See the verses 24. 30- 31.
