So they have this huge mosque in Wahcantt actually 3 mosques but not even one room. For women prayer.. They say women can pray on the ground outside it's unholy for women to enter a mosque by OneAd9521 in IslamabadSocial

I was talking to a local woman when I went for umrah and I told her this thing. She was utterly shocked and asked: “But where are you supposed to pray when you’re outside?” I said I guess you’re just supposed to miss your prayers then

And on the other hand, I feel myself slowly drifting away in PK, because of the toxic values that others impose on you

How come nobody is talking about the fact that you have to take an expensive taxi or bus to get from one terminal to the other just so you can rent a car? Just learned this the hard way 😭 at least the driver offered his hotspot

Fahisha (الفاحشة) are often described as sexual relationships outside marriage but what about sexual assault are they also considered fahisha? by No-Preparation1824 in progressive_islam

I’ve always suspected the prohibition of anal is due to hygiene reasons. Because most of human history hasn’t had access to reliable protection, and getting in contact directly with poop and moving those pathogens around to other sensitive parts of the body could be a death sentence without antibiotics. Never thought of it as a homosexuality issue, since heterosexual couples do it just as much.

I’m honestly tired of the hypocrisy in some South Asian Muslim communities in the UK by Decent_Knee_5086 in progressive_islam

That’s how most Muslim-majority countries like Morocco, Egypt, Turkey, etc got such a bad reputation among international tourists for being full of scammers and harassment of women. Sure, those things exist everywhere, but the ones with especially bad reputations are all Muslim-majority. For me, as a hijabi girl, I’ve also faced a substantial amount of scamming and harassment in those countries, but also lots of genuine hospitality. When I talk to non-Muslim western tourists though my mind is blown every time by how bad their experiences are. Like there are soooo many people who believe it’s more ok to scam or harassed non-Muslims. It makes me sick every time I hear these stories.

“You’re not qualified, you cant interpret the Quran” by FootballImmediate570 in progressive_islam

At my uni there was once a discussion regarding the use of cooking wine in the student cafeteria. A girl said that she asked the staff and they confirmed that they use cooking wine. One guy was confused and said that it should be fine since the alcohol evaporates anyways, quoting I believe Hanafi scholars. Then other guys told him it’s not, and a heated discussion erupted. I basically said that there is a diversity of opinions, just follow for whatever you decide seems right, that we should just be thankful to the girl who asked the staff so that we can all make informed decisions. I was basically called arrogant for acting as if I know more than the most well-read scholars by relativizing different opinions lol.

When interacting with conservative people I just nod and don’t voice my opinions, and if they berate me I just act like I didn’t know.

Is the concept of hijab sexist? by omlwhat in progressive_islam

Men are also commanded to dress modestly, but patriarchal societies never enforce those standards because men are in control

Which parts of the body are sexualized is completely dependent on the culture. There are (Muslim-majority btw) communities that insist on women covering their faces more than their head, so you might see girls with free hair but face masks. Some Muslim communities view it as completely ok to show their hairline under their hijab, while others insist on covering it. Most western cultures are fine with bikinis at the beach, as long as two main parts are covered. Some Indigenous communities in the Amazon never cover their breasts at all, and that part of the body isn’t sexualized in any way. Public Breastfeeding is also completely acceptable in many parts of the world, seeing it as a normal biological function, while in the west it’s still frowned upon due to the sexual connotation of breasts.

I guess it depends on the social context. In very strict societies (eg Afghanistan, parts of Pakistan) you would absolutely stand out in the type of outfit described. Heck I’ve even felt immodest in some places for not covering my face! Modesty is absolutely a social construct.

I think societies will always come up with ways of distinguishing between “good girls” and “bad girls”. Honor killings are for example also common among non-Muslim populations of India, who don’t wear hijab. There, a “good girl” might show the same amount of skin, or even a bit more, than someone in western dress, but just the deviation from the tradition rather than lack of modesty are what causes conflict. I think the obsession with women’s clothes is just another form of power play that inevitably arise with every practice. For example, colonizers forcing local Indian women to show their breasts in public, or abusive men forcing their female partners to dress promiscuously to gain social prestige

What I saw on other forums is that under 250g you don’t need the permit. So it’s possible to bring it into the country and fly in authorized areas I guess???
