A Statement on Women Entering the Neighborhood of Bachelors in Jeddah

The questioner:
One of the brothers says: I am a resident of Jeddah, and I mention this for his sake, and that I used to live in Jeddah in a neighborhood called al-Sahibah. This neighborhood is frequented by bachelors, and I have observed many women coming to this neighborhood and entering the homes of these bachelors, and so on. So he asks for permission to alert you to this?

The Shaykh:
May Allah grant success to everyone.

Another questioner:
May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh. By the way, regarding this question, I am a resident of Jeddah on the Corniche. Many of the expatriates, and even many Muslim young men, go there to swim, and they wear only what covers the front and the back. Many people go there with their families, and there is free mixing, and many of the women are wearing tight-fitting clothes.

The Shaykh:
Some of it has been addressed, and the matter will be revisited, if Allah wills. Some correspondence has been sent regarding it, and the matter will be revisited, if Allah wills.
