Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the stronger position regarding the issue of the thigh? Is it part of the 'awrah or not?

Answer:
Yes, it is part of the 'awrah. The majority of scholars hold this view, and the evidence points to it. Therefore, it is not permissible to expose the thigh. Yes.
