Women's Prayer Halls
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: It has become widespread among some women to visit places called massage parlors, either by the woman going there herself or by another woman coming to her home. This is not for a medical condition, but for relaxation and rest. He says: The woman exposes part of her 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered). Is this action permissible?
Answer:
It is not permissible to expose the 'awrah; it is not permissible. However, if there is no exposure of the 'awrah, and the one performing the massage is a woman, and there is a benefit in the massage—there is no doubt that there is a benefit—then it is permissible.
