"Aurat ka bi aurat sai pardah hai..."

As per many sources Aurat ka Aurat sai bi pardah hai which means a woman too should not reveal to another woman.

Keeping this stance in mind, i find it really odd how conveniently majority of the muslim women get body wax and bikini wax etc from other women. Same way, many women change their clothes in front of some one else, in parlours they are wearing revealing gowns for the beauty purposes etc.

No matter how hygienic purposes these maybe but this is clearly stated as wrong to reveal yourself in front of any one other than your husband. So what is your stance on this? DO you think this is okay to do? If it is, what makes you think it is fine to go with?

Re: "Aurat ka bi aurat sai pardah hai..."

can you, yourself wax your back?

Re: "Aurat ka bi aurat sai pardah hai..."

Hmmm. I think it is best not to expose that is unnecessary.

Re: "Aurat ka bi aurat sai pardah hai..."

First, as mentioned by Lusi, it can be hard to thoroughly wax certain parts of your body by yourself.

Is it better to get the bikini wax done by another woman or by a guy? And just to mess things up...what if you get it done by a lesbian woman? Would that be more dangerous than getting it done by a gay guy?

So, should she get her waxing done by female relatives in her immediate family then? Such as a mom or sister? And what if that's not possible? Would female members of her extended family be considered inappropriate compared to those in her immediate family? Where does one draw the line?

What if she goes to a parlor because she wants it done by a professional? She could have the professional come to her home....or she could request a private room at the parlor. These are also options....but may not always be possible for various reasons.

Sure, they could change in a bathroom stall. But you can't control what other women or people in general will will do. So, if she's changing in front of you.......then don't look at her. I'm not going against the purdah with women rule.....You just do your best in situations that are hard to control.

Re: "Aurat ka bi aurat sai pardah hai..."

Me soching.... How important is for a woman to have her back and other areas waxed if not married?

Re: "Aurat ka bi aurat sai pardah hai..."

Very important to some women. It's not all about or for the guy.

To the OP, I'm lax about this. PERSONALLY, I think it's ok for me to be 'fine about this' because I'm content with the choices I make in other matters in life which I think are of much more importance like honesty, respect, gossip, deceit, selfishness, adultery etc. So I let myself have leeway in this issue.

Furthermore, as others have said, I can't reach my back, neither am I fast enough or gentle enough on my own. And I'm impatient too (about such things).

Re: "Aurat ka bi aurat sai pardah hai..."

c'mon mate what argument is that - what does marriage gotta do here ?

Re: "Aurat ka bi aurat sai pardah hai..."

Ditto.

Re: "Aurat ka bi aurat sai pardah hai..."

So in other words, exposing to the extent of being stark naked in front of another woman is fine for what ever justifications it has?

As for those talking about waxing your ownself, yes you can wax your legs, your under arms, your arms yourself and even for some under legs is not an issue. If you know thats the right thing to do, probably giving it a try 6-7 times will fix the issue. e.g. many people find it extremely difficult to use lenses the first 1-2 weeks. Their eyes go red, their tears come out, some people poke their fingers in the eye, swell it etc. but with time they learn the art properly. If tried, this can be done too. I myself had difficulty initially but now i am getting used to it. Fine to some extent it maybe acceptable to arms or hands or something but exposing as far as that doesnt seem reasonable at all whether your focus is more on lieing, cheating, stealing & other such falsehoods.

I am not pointing at some one neither am i portraying whose more religious but this is for mere discussion purposes.

Re: "Aurat ka bi aurat sai pardah hai..."

VERY important to remain groomed and for salah too.

Re: "Aurat ka bi aurat sai pardah hai..."

Cos according to some ppl there is no reason for a woman to look after herself or look good unless it's for a man..

Re: "Aurat ka bi aurat sai pardah hai..."

Hmmm....i get waxed by an indian lady near our home. i go to her house...its just me and her. I don't see the big deal to be honest. You aren't exposing yourself in the same way you would to your husband. It is very different in both cases. With your husband it is different...and with the beautician different.

As Gina said it is important to stay well groomed and also in order to be clean for the purposes of prayer...

I do not walk around naked whilst i am there. it is all done with care and only uncovering what is needed. I dont think i would ever go to a palour type thing. i feel at ease with the woman i go to

Re: "Aurat ka bi aurat sai pardah hai..."

Many people prefer to maintain/groom themselves out of personal choice....not necessarily for the sake of someone else such as a spouse. Just because one is single doesn't mean that they shouldn't groom themselves. Marriage shouldn't be a prerequisite to self-maintenance.

Re: “Aurat ka bi aurat sai pardah hai…”

:hehe:

I could have won the lottery if I had guessed the numbers like I did for the responses.

OK.

What I meant is, if she is not married. (BF/Dating is out of religions for modesty sake), she could do some waxing on her own for hygiene then when she marries, her husband can do the honor if he likes.

Case is overblown here for back waxing… isn’t it?

Who is lookng her hair if she is not married? Can’t she take shower everyday? :smiley:

Re: "Aurat ka bi aurat sai pardah hai..."

Actually I don't see how waxing is supposed to be any better or more hygenic...It's not like your namaz is invalid if you don't get a brazilian/bikini wax. There's nothing wrong in admitting its just a preference, instead of trying to provide false justifications that its more hygenic or has anything to do wiht religion whatsoever.

Re: "Aurat ka bi aurat sai pardah hai..."


why isn't it?

Re: "Aurat ka bi aurat sai pardah hai..."

Please read above.

Yes.

Re: "Aurat ka bi aurat sai pardah hai..."

Just get your husband to wax you back LOL

Re: "Aurat ka bi aurat sai pardah hai..."


how is being hygienic and cleanliness a false justification? religion isn't just covering women up and reading 5 namaz ; )

Re: "Aurat ka bi aurat sai pardah hai..."

First, how many women actually do have back hair?

Second, having hair other than private areas is neither unhygienic nor unclean.

Water and soap is cheap ya know! ;)
