I am sending you an advert which advertises a so-called "Islamic' swimsuit called 'burkini' for Muslim women.

Question

I am sending you an advert which advertises a so-called "Islamic' swimsuit called 'burkini' for Muslim women. It covers their entire bodies. May I circulate this advert?

Answer

You should not circulate the 'burkini' e-mail. This 'burkini' is among the snares of shaitaan, the objective of which is the introduction of greater nudity among Muslim women. Shaitaan is an extremely cunning enemy. He first plants a seed, then he assiduously cares for and nourishes the growth of his tree of corruption. He first only touches a person's finger for a brief second. His flits of touching increase by the day until finally he swallows a person with one gulp without the victim even realizing that he/she has become a tool of the devil.

The 'burkini' will culminate in a real bikini in time to come. With this haraam 'burkini', Muslim women will become increasingly audacious, initially believing that this garb conforms to Shar'i Purdah. By degrees, the 'burkini' will begin shedding even its existing haraam form and give way to nudity. This will happen as sure as day follows night. Shaitaan has gripped the brains of the masses and the Ulama alike in this age. May Allah Ta'ala guide and protect us all.
