Ruling on women wearing zippers on the back of their garments
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some women wear garments that have zippers on the back. Is this permissible?
Answer:
We do not prohibit it, and we are not aware of anything regarding this. However, if it is on the front, that is better and more protective of the 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered). The important thing is to protect the 'awrah.
This new practice is not good. If it were on the front, it would be better and more cautious. It would be in front of her, allowing her to protect and preserve it, so it is better than the back. But if it is on the back and does not expose the 'awrah, and it protects it, and it is placed there only because it is easier to take off the garment, or for other reasons, we see no harm in it.
