The Ruling on a Man's 'Awrah (the Part of the Body That Must Be Covered) and Exposing the Thigh
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And it is not in the heat. What is the ruling on wearing a tight garment, and that it makes the one looking at it understand, and that there is a difference of opinion on this?
Answer:
There is a difference of opinion, but the correct view is that the thigh is an awrah (part of the body that must be covered) for the man. It is true that the thigh is an awrah for the man. As for the woman, her entire body is an awrah. As for the man, his awrah is from the navel to the knee, so the thigh, indeed the knee, is included in the awrah. This is the correct view. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Do not expose," and he said to 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him)Sunan Ibn Majah 1460Da’if (Darussalam). The thigh is part of the awrah. Yes, Allah knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad.

Do not show your thigh, and do not look at the thigh of anyone, living or dead.
لا تبرز فخذك ولا تنظر إلى فخذ حي ولا ميت
