Meaning Of Bai-haiyai (بے حیائی ) And What Activities Fall Under This?

[Aejaz Ahmed]

برائے مہربانی اس بارے میں آگاہ کریں کہ دین کی نظر میں بے حیائی سے کیا مراد ہے ؟؟

کیا عورتوں کا سائیکل چلانا ی چہرہ اور بال یعنی سر کھولنا بے حیائی ہے وغیرہ ؟؟

[Umer]

Quran uses the word ‘Fawahish‘ as being prohibited. This is not necessarily the same as word بے حیائی used in urdu in all instances.

To understand the word Fawahish in detail, please refer to the following thread:

Matters of parda, women riding bicycles, covering head etc. fall within domain of norms of gender interaction and have nothing to do with بے حیائی as long as one is not involed in any Fawahish act. Societal taboos also play a role at times in considering certain activities as being prohibited for a specific gender and sometimes misconstrued as being declared Haram in religion.
