Is exposing the thigh considered 'awrah (the part of the body that must be covered), and is it forbidden to expose it to people?

Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, a questioner asks: Is exposing the thigh 'awrah, or is it forbidden to expose it to people?

Answer:
Yes, the 'awrah for a man is from the navel to the knee, and the knee is included in the 'awrah. Therefore, it is not permissible to expose the thigh. In the hadith, do not expose your thigh, so it is not permissible to expose the thigh, and do not look at the thigh of a living person. He says, the thigh is 'awrah without doubt. Yes, those who say it is not 'awrah, their opinion is the weaker position. Yes.
