  • Is It Okay To Enter Public Bathhouses?

    Posted by Torik Kaddafi on July 6, 2025 at 2:13 am

    Can men and women enter public baths? (of course men and women are separated). I understand that even in men-only or women-only areas they cannot openly display their private parts, so what about places like public baths? ……… Is it allowed to go to public baths like onsen in Japan? I also put a hadith related to this case.

    Al-Qasim bin Abil-Qasim as-Saba’i narrated from a preacher who was addressing the troops in al-Qustanteeniyyah, that he heard him narrate that Umar bin al-Khattab رضي الله عنه said: O people, I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: `Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, let him not sit at a table where alcohol is being passed around; whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, let him not enter a bathhouse unless he is wearing a waist wrapper; and whoever (among women) believes in Allah and the Last Day, let her not enter bathhouses (at all).”

    Musnad Ahmad 125

    It was narrated from Abu Malih AL-HUdhail that some women from the people of Hims asked permission to enter upon Aisha. She said: “Perhaps you are among those (women) who enter bathhouses? I heard the Messenger of Allah(ﷺ) say: ‘Any woman who takes off her clothes anywhere but in her husband’s house, has torn the screen between her and Allah.'”
