    Why are Muslim women not supposed to show their ankles?

    As with the body and hair, ankles are considered to be sexually attractive to men, and such overtly sexual features are seen as being provocative to them. Thus, strictly speaking, Muslim women are not technically allowed to show their bare feet or even hands unless they are undecorated, i.e. unpainted nails, etc.

    I greet you with the Islamic greeting of peace. Assalamu ‘alaikum. You asked a very good question. The Holy Qur’an is the words of Allah (Arabic meaning God & it’s the proper name for God.) In the Holy Qur’an Allah commands us to dress modestly. Women are to cover themselves when in front of men (family is a different story), this provides not only protection for the female but also protection for the community. Morals and values are better respected within a society which maintains proper ethnics. I hope I have given you some insight, may I humbly suggest a great book? The Qur’an is a must read, it will change your life. 🙂 Good day

    For some people, showing ankle is not a big deal. It’s a matter of choice.
