salaam
Muslim women unable to wear revealing swimwear are turning to a new design nicknamed the "Burkini." The practical and stylish costumes are the idea of a Sydney-based Muslim designer.

so what do u think?
wasalaam
To be beautiful is to expect nothing in return.
they're nothing new this lady has just coined the term burkini to attract attention for her product.these garments have been selling in the middle east for years now and they're not called burkinis over there. Sounds so ridiculous i wouldn't want no association with the bikini. it's hardly a mix ofa bikini and a burka at all. more like a modern salwar kameez with a swimming hat on top.
i think they look hideaous but it's worn for cover not beauty, better muslim women wear them if they insist on going swimming within mixed pools.
theyre also known as sharia swimsuits in turkey, "hashema"
I think the whole outfit is just sooooo silly!!! :x
I guess some people like attention so they do anything to get it!!!!
"Happy are those who find fault with themselves instead of finding fault with others"
[b][color=indigo]Whats wrong with it?[/color][/b]
sis...what's right with it?
"Happy are those who find fault with themselves instead of finding fault with others"
[b][color=indigo]I dunno
I don't see anything wrong with it :? [/color][/b]
I wouldnt wear it, I agree with Saffy its silly esp the "hijab" bit
One thing does come to mind though, when fabric is soaked with water it clings to the skin, wouldnt that just show the body shape anyway :? hence making it not so modest.
[color=indigo][b]I wouldn't ever wear it either but for the sisters who are into swimming i think it's a good idea.. but then as Angel mentioned when the fabric is soaked it's gona cling to the body.. :?
Ps: Does anyone no waer i can get some sports hijaab from?[/b][/color]
i got mine from dubai!!! only it's by SPEEDO!!!
live and let live!!!!!!!
Personally, I wouldn't ever wear something like that. If I had to wear that in order to go swimming, then I'd rather drown lol! That was a joke.
Stuff like that doesn't really make Islam that appealing to anyone, in my opinion.
But, girls are very restricted when it comes to sports, which I think is a bit unfair lol.
our local leisur centre has ladies only on sundays!! with a lady lifeguard on duty!! it's really popular
live and let live!!!!!!!
And they don't have any CCTV?
Is there any fabric which doesn't cling to the skin when wet?
nope!! no cctv cam there! and they even cover the windows up!!
live and let live!!!!!!!
Are you asking or stating?
If the former then I can't think of any fabric that deosn't cling to the skin when wet.
If you're stating - your point being?
I was asking.
So if there isn't any fabric which doesn't cling to your skin when wet, would you then say that Muslim women shouldn't swim?
I don't know and I honestly don't care as swimming aint my hobby had it been then I would have taken that Q and asked a scholar.
i dont see anything wrong with it.. i used to love swimming used to go all the time to ladies sessions
i dont think u can find anything that will not cling to you so this is atleast an alternative for those who do wna swim. its the main reason i stopped swimming and apart from the fact the ladies sessions were at 8.45 am lol too early for meeeee
but i neva thought about CCtv :shock:

[size=9]I NEVER WORE IT BECAUSE OF THE TALIBAN, MOTHER. I LIKE THE [b]MODESTY[/b] AND [b]PROTECTION[/b] IT AFFORDS ME FROM THE EYES OF MEN.[/size] [url=http://www.adherents.com/lit/comics/Dust.html]Dust, X-Men[/url]
I think I would Sis!
A jilbab restricts you quite a bit. I remember the first time I got into my car wearing one, it took me a while to free my legs before I could actually drive, lol. And even then I had to have it hitched up, lol! - practice makes perfect huh.
But seriousely, it's not just the outfits, but the whole modesty issue, everything is so open, ie it's not really realistic to be able to hire out a whole ski resort for example.
Anyway regarding swimmimg - I know lots of brothers who go swimming, but it's always mixed, they don't go to male-only sessions. Surely that's not allowed.

I sewed it myself. It was when I first started practicing and I wanted to go to the mosque to listen to a talk. I didn't really know what to expect, it was only confirmed in the morning, so I went and got some material and sewed it in the afternoon. I think I overdid it with the whole loose thing. But seriousely, it took me a while to find my legs.
Thanks Sis, I'm gonna go one day then, coz you said I can. And you can't take it back.
Hhmmm...I do wonder how they are able to justify themselves voluntarily going to a place where they know there are going to be women wearing next to nothing.
Brothers, feel free to have a go.
i know, exactly. its like saying its ok for me to go to the pub to socialise, because i know i'm not going there to drink.
