The questioner: This is the statement of the brotherEid Abbasi : regarding this, meaning I just remembered this, glory be to Allah, we used to swim in the mosque pool.
The student: Yes.
The questioner: And most of those present were young brothers who came at specific times, for example in the morning, and so on. Then the situation changed, and young men started coming who were problematic in their dress, wearing short clothes, even from some Salafi groups that follow the Salafi methodology... So we told the brother, Eid, saying, for example, if the majority are wearing long clothes, meaning if most of the brothers are wearing long clothes.
The Shaykh: I say that if it makes a difference when looking at the one who is pious.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: The one who is pious.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: If the pious person finds a group of people exposing their private parts, he must withdraw. But if the person is the opposite, then it is obligatory for him either to withdraw or to cover himself.
The questioner: And this pool here, also at the Yarmouk Club nearby, the same thing is happening now, where some groups adopt the view that the thigh is not a private part.
