Steam baths
Q: We are Hanafi and I want to know about steam-bath with mahrams. My physician strictly advise me to take steam-bath 20 minutes regularly. Today I joined the gym with my brother for steam-bath. In my mind that I will sit in steam-room in complete dress with my brother but the instructor told us that we have to sit with wrapped towel (from chest to knee). Today I wrapped the towel and sit at steam-room with my brother. During steam-bath I was thinking about "Is this permissible in Islam?" that wearing towel from chest to knee in front of brother in steam-room. So when I reached home I was searching about this ARWAH/SATAR of women in front of Mahrams. from many Islamic sites I found the material about the ARWAH of women in front of Mahrams. On those site it was written that "ARWAH OF WOMEN IN FRONT OF MAHRAMS FROM NAVAL TO KNEE". If the mahrams see their woman other parts like face, hands, feet, hair and chest, these parts are not HARAM or there is no sin in this case It want to ask it is true and can I go to steam-bath with my brother? Because it is necessary for me or if it is wrong then I will leave the gym. I waiting for your positive answer.
Looking at na mahrams with lust
Q: I am a 20 year old male living in the UK. I want to go to university in this country however, there are very expensive tuition fees therefore most people have to take out a haram interest loan. However, there are a few courses that are full NHS funded so I can avoid the haram loan. One is called Dietetics BSc. I really want to do this course. However, the course is 87% female. The majority of these are young 'attractive young ladies'. There are 13% male on this course and I'd do my best to avoid the females and stick with my male friends. However, a male being on a 87% female course, it will be hard to avoid them, and I fear looking at them with desire-which is haram in the hanafi madhab. Is there any position in any of the four sunni madhabs that will allow me to look at these students potentially with desire? I understand the whole point of these Islamic gender laws is to avoid
adultery. Even If I look at them even with desire, insha'Allah, nothing will come of it and I won't commit adultery, I will avoid them these girls as much as I can and lower my gaze, but sometimes it is difficult to talk to these people without looking at them and I cannot guarantee that my looks will be free from desire.
I want to study this to earn a halal income, improve the health of my community and avoid the haram student loan, but I may have to look at these
people but I am not interested in taking it any further with these girls. They're students, like me, and potentially a fitna for me. I will treat them
that way. But I cannot guarantee my looks will be free from desire.
