  • Understand If Thighs Are Part Of Awrah And How They Change In Base Of Urf

    Posted by Abdullah Abbas on July 11, 2025 at 10:19 am

    Aslamulakium today I have spent all day to understand if thigh is part of the awrah of the man.

    I watch a video on YouTube where ghamidi sahab talk about the hifz e faroog and is divided in 3,obligatory,preferred and personal choice.Ghamidi Shab say that of course the absolute private part you must cover it,and for the rule of hifz you obligatory cover the part that bring them there,so from the navel to knee.

    But in a video Ghamidi shab say that in a culture can be given URF, because in some society is not seen indent to show thigh.

    I personally cover a part of the thigh my own fithrat say to me when i am wearing a short that is very short like a underwear and I personally feel ashame,but I often wear short that cover a part of the thigh and my fithrat don’t say nothing,BUT of course in prayer I cover even my whole body because at and of the day o am in front of my Lord,my Rab,my Allah.

    Returning to the point,is thigh part of the awrah?and if is change in base of URF o situation?if yes how?and if I show the thigh is a minor o major sin?

    Please I await your answer,please be fast because it is killing me inside.

    And Allahu Alam

    It is better to cover your thigh to fulfil the directive of وَ یَحْفَظْنَ فُرُوْجَھُنَّ. Covering of thighs is required to ensure proper and compete covering of the private parts. In normal circumstances, they should be covered. However, if because of a certain situation or event etc. thighs or a part thereof are exposed, then it is not same as exposing the private parts. Such exposure is acceptable. Social norms are acceptable to an extent where they do not start conflicting with the primary directives of religion. As soon as one realizes that the current social dress norms of where they live are resulting in direct violation of یَحْفَظْنَ فُرُوْجَھُنَّ directive, then such norms should be abandoned. Exposure of thigh is not a matter of Sin, exposure of private parts is a matter of Sin. Thighs are covered to make sure private parts do not get exposed, not even slightly.
