Are Muslim women allowed to swim in the ocean at the beach or go to a public pool?

Answer 1

I lived in Saudi for 13 years and several times by the Red Sea we did see Muslim women swimming. But here is the kicker, they where swimming with there Abiyah on (the black robe and head covering). Now I have traveled to more non-hard line Muslim countries such as UAE and yes they do swim in public. I have also stayed at a Disney Resort and was in a pool area where there was a Muslim family and they had no problems fitting in. They did speak Arabic and English defiantly better educated.
As for what exactly the Quran may say, I have no idea.
I hope this helps answerer your question.

Answer 2

I recommend you do not go swimming in a public pool because it truly is particularly probably that someone is peeing contained in the water and the chlorine gained't do it reliable. besides the very incontrovertible fact that it really is an exaggeration to say you need to attend "some months" to bypass swimming contained in the pool, i could only say wait a week or 2 better. in case you incredibly want to swim, go ahead and placed a band-help over the piercing.

Of course they can. In some countries it is not possible because of traditional or cultural reasons.

Islam is the very nature of man. It is the religion and the path chosen by Almighty Allah for mankind so that they may gain happiness in this life and Paradise in the next life. Islam is not a religion in the common and distorted sense, for it does not confine its scope to one's private life. It is a complete way of life and is present in every field of human existence. Islam provides guidance for all aspects of life—individual and social, material and moral, economic and political, legal and cultural, and national and international. The teachings of Islam are simple and intelligible.

At the moral level, Islam teaches us to be truthful, honest, just, compassionate, virtuous; to shun all evils; to be ever bent on doing good deeds while sparing others of any harm or injury. Stated differently, it teaches us to think right, speak right, and act righteously.

At the spiritual level, Islam teaches cultivation of mindfulness of God—being grateful to Him, patient in adversity, and content with His decree and ever willing to make our will conform to His will.

The wearing of the veil by women is an illogical premise to claim that women are inferior to men. It is more appropriate to indict a society of female exploitation if it tolerates pornography rather than if it enforces the veil. Given that Allah is neither male nor female, given that He does not endear people to Himself based on their gender, given that the Creator cares about all of us male or female, given that the sexual and violent drive of men is stronger than that of women...given all this, it is illogical to cast a negative light on the following injunctions contained in the Qur'an (translation)

[33:59] O Prophet, tell your wives and daughters and the believing women to draw their outer garments around them (when they go out or are among men). That is better in order that they may be known (to be Muslims) and not be annoyed...

[24:30-31] Say to the believing man that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that will make for greater purity for them; and Allah is well acquainted with all that they do. And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; and that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what must ordinarily appear thereof; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty except to their husbands...

On this misconception, there is a great deal more to write, most of it showing how current practices in many Muslim lands go against what the Qur'an and Sunnah have ordained, lands in which women are treated as property (unIslamic), are not educated (unIslamic), are forbidden their economic rights (unIslamic), and more. On this point in particular, we encourage everyone to consult the Qur'an and Sunnah before incriminating Islam. Always remember that Islam is a complete way of life from the Creator, and that Muslims are people who claim to follow that way of life. A Muslim may claim to follow Islam, but be wrong.
