PROTECTION OF PRIVATE PARTS

Protection of the private parts: Private parts here refer to the entire area between the navel and the knees for males, and the entire body for females, excluding the hands and feet.
This is of two categories:



The first is that one safeguards them from being used for sinful purposes like adultery.

The second is that a person ensures that no other person sees it. Allah’s curse is on the person who sees the private portion of another, as well as on the person who allows his / her private parts to be seen (this refers to those people who cannot see each other in terms of the shari’ah). Of course, others may see these at times of extreme necessity.
