How To Determine Whether Normal Beauty Is Considered Tabarruj
In my previous post, I asked what tabarruj is, and now I want to know how to determine whether someone is engaging in tabarruj or not.
From what I understand, tabarruj involves excessively displaying jewellery and makeup to attract men sexually. From this statement, I can conclude that women should not dress like prostitutes (whore), as the purpose of a prostitute is to attract men for the purpose of adultery. Or dress like women who work in places like strip clubs, whose purpose is to attract men sexually.
My question here is how can we determine whether a woman is engaging in tabarruj? Because I saw in another post that if a prostitute displays her jewellery normally and still fully covers her private areas and surroundings, she is still engaging in tabarruj because she is trying to attract men’s attention. Additionally, determining whether someone appears sexually appealing or not is subjective, so I am unsure of the proper way to determine whether she is sexually attracting men or not.From this, I have three questions:
1. What are the primary factors that determine whether someone is engaging in tabarruj or not? As I mentioned earlier, even if a prostitute displays her jewellery normally, she can still be considered to be engaging in tabarruj.
2. Do the rules regarding tabarruj also follow the rules of hifz e furj? Because tabarruj involves displaying jewellery that should be covered (especially in private areas), and the laws regarding hifz e furj also depend on the situation, location, and local culture. For example, if a woman wears jewellery on her thighs or above her elbows, is she engaging in tabarruj?
3. Does tabarruj also apply to men? I heard that if a man shows off his muscles like a bodybuilder, it means he is committing tabarruj. Is that true?
Please forgive me for asking so many questions about this. I often ask because I am interested in the entertainment industry, and the entertainment industry often features such things, so at least I want to understand the details of this issue.

Some shows of Taburrajj are quite explicit that no one can have a different opinion. In some cases, there may be a difference of opinion whether a woman is doing taburruj or not. In that case, everyone has to make their own opinion.
As told earlier, that skin show is obscenity but not taburrujj. Taburrujj is done with things of makeup and ornaments.
Men can do taburrujj too.

This means that determining whether someone is engaging in tabarruj is also subjective. I understand this part, because sometimes when women use excessive makeup or jewellery, it is not necessarily considered tabarruj. For example, a bride who wears makeup for her wedding. I have three more questions, sir:
1) What is the logical reason why tabarruj is so strictly prohibited? You said tabarruj is not zina, but because it leads to zina, it is a sin with a punishment. This implies that tabarruj is a minor sin that is strictly prohibited. What is the logical reason for the prohibition of tabarruj?
2) When you mention exposing skin, does that refer to private areas? As far as I know, fawahish pertains to exposing private areas, so parts like the arms, thighs, shoulders, etc., are not considered fawahish, correct?
3) What are examples of men engaging in tabarruj?

Taburruj is a direct invitation to zina, no matter zina takes place or not, thefore it is strictly prohibited.
Skin exposure includes the body parts adjacent to private parts that make it look sexually attractive.
Bridal makeup is not Taburruj. Bridal makeup appeals to aesthetics while Taburruj appeals to sexual desire.
Male prostitute and guys do makeup to attract men for sex.

Oh like that, because when women try to look sexual using jewelry and makeup in front of men it is directly inviting men to commit adultery, ok I understand that. I have three more questions sir:
1) All this talk about tabarruj is because she is trying to look sexual using jewelry and also makeup in front of men (dressed like a prostitute), but if using makeup and jewelry is not to look sexual then this does not include tabarruj, right sir? Even if she uses it excessively?
2) Sir, as far as I know, isn’t the part that is close to the private part included in sadd e zarya? And also for example in a society exposing the shoulders and thighs (while still covering the private parts) is considered normal like in America, doesn’t that still fulfill the rule of hifj e furj? Is it because they are trying to look sexual in front of men that they end up falling into fawahish?
3) Oh does that mean that men who do work like bodybuilders are not considered tabarruj? There are some who say that showing muscles in front of women is tabarruj.

1. Right.
2. Western society allows revealing the adjacent body parts, but still the people do not prefer it morally. Covering the adjacent parts comes in the category of Sadd-e-Zarya. Hifzul Furuj does not mean covering only. The word is Hifz, not star (covering). Hifz means guarding. It implies that the private parts should not only be covered but well covered. That is why adjacent parts are covered too.
3. Skin show, or muscle show, is not taburrujj. Every phenomenon has a different word to express itself.

Oh, I see. For now, I understand some of the reasons and the basis for the prohibition of tabarruj, although I am still confused about tabarruj, especially its application in modern times. I have three more questions, sir:
1) As you said earlier, the purpose of tabarruj is to attract men with jewellery and makeup, then what about a female actor who plays the role of a prostitute, sir? Is it permissible for her to dress as a prostitute?
2) Does that mean if a woman wears clothing that does not cover her thighs and shoulders, even though her private parts are still covered and it is still acceptable in society, for example in America where such clothing is permitted, does that mean the woman is committing a sin, sir?
3) Does that mean it is permissible to work as a bodybuilder? Because bodybuilders also have competitions to show off their muscles, and their clothing is sometimes minimal (such as wearing only shorts or underwear).

To act like a prostitute is not good.
In Western societies, too, revealing is not considered good, though they allow it. A sin stays a sin, no matter a society allows it.
There is no problem with bodybuilding.

Indeed, trying to fully portray a prostitute can cause problems, especially in terms of lowering the actor’s self-esteem. Producers who understand the issue of tabarruj will find a way around it by using makeup and jewellery as normally as possible without lowering the actor’s self-esteem, so even though he is portraying a prostitute, he can still maintain his self-esteem. I now have three questions, sir (please excuse me if there are too many 🙏🏻)
1) Regarding the actor, I now want to ask about a dancer. There are two female dancers. The first one wears excessive makeup and also wears bracelets on both hands and both feet, and the bracelets make a lot of noise (the purpose of the bracelets is part of her performance). The second dancer is almost identical to the first, but she wears slightly revealing clothing (though it still covers the private areas). My question is, which of the two is considered tabarruj? Is it the first or the second? Or are neither of them tabarruj?
2) I understand that exposing areas near the private parts sounds inappropriate, but there are some situations where it is necessary to expose those areas. Like when swimming, exercising, wrestling, etc. In such situations, is exposing the area near the private parts still considered a sin?
I took this opinion from this video by Mr. Ghamidi: https://youtu.be/LuVp6WYbQlE?si=anKb5oqo19iulBwr
And some posts discussing modesty and fashion:Discussion 30568 Discussion 58781
3) Is it actually allowed, sir? I thought this was not permitted because wearing only shorts or underwear during a competition (I thought this would fall under the category of fawahish).

Now you want opinions on different situations and applications. Here we invite the discretion and understand of the people. In the light of the principles, apply them in different situations and determine your opinion.
-
So, for each different activity, there is a different way of applying it, so you cannot compare the application in one place with another. Even to determine whether something is tabarruj or not, you have to look at the place and also what activity is being done. Is that correct, sir?
-
-
Right.

Thank you sir…….thank you very much
