Question
Assalaamu alaikum wa rahmatullahAre Women allowed to swim in a secluded place together?If yes. How are they supposed to dress as any dress will stick to the body when wet. Please explain in detailWassalaam
Answer
Praise be to Allah.Anything that could be a source of temptation among women must be
prevented. So their swimming in clothes that do not cover their ‘awrah (parts of the
body which must be covered) properly because they stick to the body is something that is
not allowed. If they swim in clothes that cover them, in a place far from the gaze of men,
and cover themselves as soon as they come out of the water so that others will not see
them in clothes that show the shape or colour of their ‘awrah, then there is nothing
wrong with this so long as they adhere to the shar’i conditions. And Allaah knows
best.
