Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is the thigh an awrah or not, with evidence?
Answer:
There is no doubt that it is an awrah. The evidence is that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), "Do not expose your thigh,"Sunan Ibn Majah 1460Da’if (Darussalam). This is among the prohibitions regarding the awrah. The awrah is of two types: the major awrah, which is the two private parts, and the minor awrah, which serves to protect the major awrah, namely the two thighs. So it is part of the awrah. Yes.
