Abstract
It is possible to express that the largest problem in halal tourism sector is veiling. A Muslim woman’s whole body except from her hands and face according to the Hanafi and the Maliki madhhabs (additionally foot in Hanafis), and her whole body including those organs according to Shafi’i and Hanbali madhhabs is private. The private part of the man is the area between the belly and the knee. Only according to Zahiri madhhab and to some of the scholars, the private parts of a man’s body are the genitals. By following the views of the Zahiri madhhab and those scholars, it is permissible for the men to partially open their legs, such an option is not a matter of question for the private parts of the women. Some of the women that have veiling try to solve this problem by using ‘veiling swimsuit (al mâyû al shar’i in Arabic)’. Based on the views about the women’s wearing baggy trousers and today’s scholars’ views on using pants in the literature of fiqh, it is understood that the veiling swimsuit is not permissible. Because, these swimwear are not in accordance with the soul of the veiling, they are within the scope of the forbidden wearing type both in verses and in hadiths, and they especially take the shape of the body by becoming skintight after getting out from the water. Therefore, veiling swimsuit is not considered as a solution for overcoming the veiling problem, within the context of halal tourism. Instead o that, this problem can only be overcome by establishing swimming areas dedicated to ladies.
