More relaxed clothing options for Muslim women at home

The Islamic dress code, often perceived as restrictive, offers a surprising degree of flexibility within the intimate confines of the home environment, particularly when interacting with Mahrams—close family members such as fathers and brothers. In the presence of these trusted individuals, certain restrictions on attire can be relaxed without compromising the fundamental principles of Islamic modesty. Notably, a Muslim woman's awrah, or the body parts that must be covered, is significantly reduced in front of Mahrams, extending only from the navel to the knees. This relaxation of dress code allows for a greater sense of comfort and freedom within the familial setting,

Here are some outfit ideas for comfort of Muslim women at home:

The parts of the body of a woman which a suitor is permitted to look at when proposing for marriage

The selection of a spouse is a significant decision within Islam. While compatibility and religious values are crucial, physical attraction also plays a role. Islamic guidelines acknowledge this by allowing a potential husband (suitor) to look at the physical appearance of a potential wife (non-Mahram) under specific circumstances.  One such circumstance is during the process of proposing marriage. Before committing to such a significant life step, Islam permits a man to see the natural beauty of the woman he is considering. This allows him to assess if there is a level of physical attraction that would contribute to a fulfilling and lasting marriage. The  Prophet (pbuh) said :  اذا خطب احدکم المراة فان استطاع فان ینظر منها الی ما یدعوه الی نکاحها فلیفعل  (مسند احمد، ٣/٣٣٤) “When one of you proposes to a woman for marriage, then if he is able to look at those (parts of) woman which induces one towards nikah, he should do so.” (Musnad Ahmad).  When a man considers proposing to a woman

Is it acceptable in Islam for a man to hug and kiss his adult sister ?

Can an adult brother hug or kiss his adult sister? Allah (SWT) establishes a beautiful and sacred bond between siblings born of the same parents. This Mahram relationship prohibits marriage and fosters deep respect and love between brother and sister. Within this relationship, there is absolutely no harm in a brother showing affection towards his sister through occasional touches, cuddles, hugs, or even a kiss on the cheek. These gestures, motivated by pure brotherly love, strengthen the bond between siblings. Hugging and kissing mahram women with brotherly or fatherly affection, is in fact sunnah and is recommended thing to do.  Aishah said, “The Prophet once kissed Fatimah on the neck. I told him, ‘O Prophet, you treat Fatimah in a way that you do not treat others.’ The Prophet said, ‘O ‘Aishah, whenever I take interest in the Paradise, I kiss her on the neck.’[ Source ] A sister hugging her brother

Ruling on kissing and hugging of women by Mahrams through fosterage

Milk-Mahrams In Islamic law, the concept of milk kinship creates a special bond between a child and the family of the woman who breastfeeds them. If a girl is breastfed by a woman before the age of two, certain men in that woman's family become her milk-mahrams. These include the woman's husband, who becomes the girl's milk-father. Her sons then become the girl's milk-brothers. The extended family is also affected. The brothers of both the milk-father and milk-mother, regardless of whether they are biological brothers or related through milk-kinship themselves, become the girl's milk-uncles. This concept even extends to the milk-mother's father, who becomes the girl's milk-grandfather, again, whether he is her biological grandfather or related through another breastfeeding relationship. In terms of dress code and physical contact, milk-mahrams are accorded the same allowances as blood-relatives. Just like with close biological family members, a woman is not
