Fawahish And It's Application
Thank you brother Umer. From this clip, I understand that all other items are sadd e zaria n not fawahish unless Zina is committed, whose highest form is illegal interourse. I also learnt from other videos that religion is not about calculating minor sins because if they are committed repeatedly they become Kabira. So my simple question is by way of an example. Suppose I work out in the gym in my exercise shorts that cover my thighs but leave my knees exposed. While working out there is big probability that the thighs show too as the shorts can easily move. While wearing shorts in a gym is a norm, it’s also not fully covering my Satar or body parts that men can’t expose (belly button to knees). Will the act of me regularly exercising in shorts become a Kabira because one can argue that it may arouse feelings by some onlookers towards Zina. This is a rather simple example but it starts getting more complicated when you apply this situation to other rather permissible situations such as comedy shows, watching normal movies or dramas, attending work related meetings in bars and lounges etc. Appreciate your advice. Thanks in advance.
Thighs are covered to make sure that no slip-up happens when it comes to covering of private parts. It is recommended in normal circumstances to cover the thighs. However, if one is in a situation ( because of gym and sports etc. ), where thighs are getting exposed to some extent, then as long as your private parts are well covered and not getting exposed in any way, then there is no harm even if thighs get exposed in such instances.
