Muslim Awrah in the presence of Non Muslim Women

Bismillah, is there an article about the fact that muslimah awrah is shown to non-Muslim women?  I know there is enlightenment from the cleric ... because there are some who are too shy to shake hands with non-Muslim women ... I can't, because I have a proposition

Answer:

Bismillah walhamdulillah was sholaatu wassalam'ala Rasulillah, wa ba'du.

There are two opinions of scholars in this matter. One said, Muslim women should not show their nakedness before non-Muslim women. Then the second opinion states that it is permissible, as Muslim women may show genitals that can be displayed to Muslim women.

This second opinion is stronger - wallahua'lam -, based on the generality of the following verse:

And tell the believing women to reduce [some] of their vision and guard their private parts and not expose their adornment except that which [necessarily] appears thereof and to wrap [a portion of] their headcovers over their chests and not expose their adornment except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands' fathers, their sons, their husbands' sons, their brothers, their brothers' sons, their sisters' sons, their women, that which their right hands possess, or those male attendants having no physical desire, or children who are not yet aware of the private aspects of women. And let them not stamp their feet to make known what they conceal of their adornment. And turn to Allah in repentance, all of you, O believers, that you might succeed.

What is meant by " their women " is,



Besides that, at the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, the Jewish women or other polytheistic women, had entered the house of the wives of the Prophet, for some purpose. But there is no history which explains that, the wives of the Prophet ﷺ closed their awrah from the view of the infidel women. Even though we all agreed, the wives of the Prophet were the most noble women.
(Extracted from the fatwa of Syaikh Ibn Baz: https: //binbaz.org.sa/fatwas/6558/ حد-عورة-المراة-المسلمة-مع-المراة-الكافرة)

One more argument that reinforces this conclusion is the hadith of a female friend named Asma ', daughter of Abu Bakr As Sidiq - radhiyallahu'anhuma -. He said,


"My mother came to me and she was a polytheist when the Qureis held a peace treaty with the Prophet. Then I asked this to the Prophet ﷺ,

"O Messenger of God ﷺ ... My mother came, she wanted to meet me. Can I maintain a relationship with my mother? "

"Yes, please, connect your relationship with your mother."

The Prophet did not order Asma 'to cover his awrah from his mother's vision. Even though it can be ascertained, in the interaction between mother and child there must be a natural aura of women, such as face, palms and feet.

The Fatwa Lajnah Da-imah Institute (Fatwa Commission of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) was once asked: do Muslim women have to wear hijab when interacting with infidel women? Or Muslim women can interact with them like their interactions with generally Muslim women?

Here's the answer:


There are two opinions of scholars in this matter. But a more appropriate opinion, Muslim women are not required to wear hijab when interacting with non-Muslim women. Because there is no history that explains, that the wives of the Prophet ﷺ or the companions of women, closed their hijab when they gathered with women from Judaism or idolaters in Medina. Suppose they did that, of course there is a history that explains ... (Fatawa Lajnah Da-imah 17/287).

This shows that Muslim women may shake hands with non-Muslim women. Because women's awrah are not awrah in front of other women, Muslims and non-Muslims. May be in reasonable touch and shake hands.

As for the genitals that may be seen in the presence of fellow women, explained by Sheikh Ibn Baz rahimahullah ,

ما فوق السرة وتحت الركبة ، أما ما بين السرة والركبة فهو عور النساء لا تراه المرأة ، سواء كانت مسلمة أو غير مسلمة قريبة أو بعيدة

Navel up and below knees.

As for the navel and knee, it is the genitals for all women. It should not be shown even to fellow women, both Muslim and non-Muslim, relatives or non-relatives.

Wallahua'lam bis showab.
