May Allah keep us in the right path 🤲🏻

Dressing modestly around my mother is a bit of a sore topic. When I adopted a higher standard of modesty in my dress, my mother took it personally. It was especially intense looking for a wedding dress because it's important to me to cover from my shoulders to my knees, which includes at least short sleeves. We spent time shopping for something to wear with my dress and the fact that it couldn't be sheer was a big problem for her.

I don't understand why anyone would tell you what you should or shouldn't wear, regardless of anyone's religious ideology. You are a fully formed adult who has made the decision to dress a certain way based on what makes you comfortable and happy with yourself and your religious beliefs. I'm only loosely religious myself, but just basic decency tells me that I should respect other people's feelings and beliefs, and that includes how they choose to dress. Thank you for sharing so much wonderful content and helping others to understand and learn more about your culture and beliefs 😊

I was raised to dress modest, so it's really feels weird if I wear anything not modest at home. in front of my mom or dad or siblings. like I don't wear leggings or tight pants without a long shirt over them. nothing too short either, the shortest I ever wore was like a hand length over my ankles. People might think it's too much but it's actually pretty comfy. I usually wear those long sleeping gawns, very breathable and comfy, or anything as long as the pants are a bit wide

Wow they are teaching me more than school now😂

Probably a totally different point of view. My mum is a "soft" Christian and I'm an atheist. I was raised in a very body-positive environment where nudity is something natural and not a big deal, so me and my mum have no problem even seeing each other naked. For example, if one of us is taking a shower and the other needs to take something from the bathroom we just knock the door, ask permission and enter 😁

I have zero restrictions on what I wear around my mum. I have been fully naked around my mum and in the past, when we’re were living together, I have even used the bathroom around my mum. The reason being is that she is my mum and in our opinion there should be no modesty between a parent and their child 👨‍👩‍👦

This is reasonable. We have to respect our parents or anyone that is uncomfortable seeing those parts , even if it doesn't sin upon anyone islamically for dressing up quite revealing or showing to much skin I think people shouldn't really do this despite being allowed to do it so in my opinion I think we should dress more appropriate infront of anyone (except if we have to do this for a doctor , nurse , etc.)

When I was growing up, I never felt comfortable dressing in front of other women. As a child, a teen or as an adult I have always felt my body is MY personal space and later when I became muslim I didn't feel shame any more for not wantingbto share my body with others. I was ALWAYS made to be a muslim, I just didn't know it

My mom and dad let me wear whatever I wanted as I am my own person, but my mom would offer opinions if she thought something just didn’t look good. Me personally shorts and tank tops were fine. However I’ve had other family members voice their opinions on what I should wear as if they thought they knew better than my parents. And I loved shopping with my mom.

I recently found a company that is making modest and stylish clothes and I am so happy about that.

I love both of y'all and think it's especially sweet that only your husband is allowed to see you in your full beauty because no other man deserves that! Also your endeavor to start with the hand coverings is very bold and I hope the gloves you find are comfortable :) As for what you said about women getting to choose based on their religion and personal understandings in their own faith, I LOVE how you phrased it and made it clear that everyone's situation is different. 😊 As far as me personally, I don't expose anything from neck to ankle, other than my arms, in front of anyone even my family. Head covering is hard to navigate, though -- living in Alabama, being overweight, and working in a restaurant kitchen -- it gets really hot. I shouldn't be putting out excuses, but, you really make me feel like I should try harder. Anyways, I love y'all both and hope you're happy and healthy 💜

Just want to say I’m a Catholic girl and I love your channel! I hate how people say dressing modest is anti-empowerment for women when it should be all up to our decision and what we feel comfortable in. For my very close family (like parents) personally I’m okay with showing up to mid thigh and arms below the elbow but absolutely no chest! Around extended family, friends, or anyone outside I cover down to my ankles, feet and to wrists (unless it’s extremely hot then I’m okay with elbows and below!) and definitely no chest. I think it’s empowering to say that my body belongs to me only. And it’s something I greatly respect about your culture and religion, but I also respect others at the same time who don’t feel comfortable dressing modestly because as you said, no one has a right to tell women how to dress and be comfortable which is spot on! Even if our preference is modesty, it should be respected 🤍

I have very much been enjoying listening to the two of you and your clear explanations of Islam and modesty. I am an older woman and my mother recently passed away. My mom, sister, and I have always been modest in front of each other due I think to culture and the times we were brought up in. Of course, as my mother aged my sister and I had to help her in ways that became more like taking care of a child but we all knew that it was for her comfort and health so it was not about violating her privacy and modesty then. My religion does not particularly mention modesty in dress but it does stress that clothing and lifestyle choices should be plain, practical, and show good stewardship of resources. Clothing should not take a lot of attention in terms of time spent purchasing, amounts of money spent, or time spent in adorning oneself that could be used for better purposes. I have always felt the implication is that worrying too much about the kind of adornment it takes to dress immodestly falls into that category of wasting time. So clothing is necessarily modest because that's the most practical and plain. I hope that makes sense!

I dress modestly. I keep covered from my shoulders (I do wear short sleeves) to right above my knees.

You would not Not that you can Not

That actually clears up a lot of my questions. Thank you so much for being gracious educators 💚

Love this video!!!!!

Lol the way Mehdi emphasized SO was super funny and to answer the question I would say I dress modestly even in front of her even tho i sadly never seen or talk to her May Allah bless you

As im a Pakistani muslim and my mom is quite fussy when it comes to me uncovering more than customarily appropriate like once i wore a t shirt with pajamas at home and she always has to make a certain face like as if im dressing like this in the presence of nah mehrams which im not and I researched on the bare minimum of the parts that a muslim women should cover in front of their mehrams and it is just from navel to knees and different schools of thoughts have more areas required to cover but yeah i would like to have the luxury atleast wear something non desi at my house lol 😭

I’m not Muslim but I still dress modestly in front of my mom. For example, when I’m alone in my apartment sometimes I’ll just wear a sports bra and short shorts. I’d never wear that in front of her or any of my family. I always wear modest tops (typically a T shirt or blouse that covers my cleavage) and shorts that cover everything important. Even though it’s not a religion thing for me it’s a respect thing and my mom doesn’t want or need to see every part of my body

Thanks! Respect your opinion💕

Non religious here and I would wear anything in front of my mum down to my underwear. Wouldn't take that off infront of her. So yeah, bikini is fine, as is a long sleeved flow-y dress and everything in between!

My mom is a nurse and has taught us girls if there is something wrong or if we think something is wrong then it’s ok to tell her and show her. So she can make a decision in our best interest if we need to be seen by a doctor. I wonder if In this case would it change your dynamic?

People should be comfortable, do that. What I'm comfortable in is my choice.

Just don't forget to take sunbaths on private, lack of vitamin D is a serious risk factor not only for osteoporosis but also for dementia and cancer.

I agree on everything said as I’m a Muslim Salam 2 u both

I think it's important to teach especially our daughters the importance of body positivity. It's dangerous to one's mental health to be made ashamed of our own body. So many people have issues/hang-ups regarding their body & it's sad. Everyone needs to love their body & wear whatever they feel comfortable with. From a string bikini to totally & completely covered if they wish, out of choice, not out of shame. Our household currently is only females so none of us have a problem simply being in our underwear, but yes it would be different if males were present. When it comes to matters involving one's health/adl care, any & all modesty does not apply.

I’m atheist but as someone who is afab and hasn’t had top surgery yet I wouldn’t expose my chest to my mother. I also wouldn’t expose my thighs/privates to my mother due to a combination of discomfort and hiding scars

I sort of find it okay to not dress modesty infront of female. But I’m trying to be more modest! I do wear a khimar with a long abaya. Well yeah I think I’m proud of you for even being modest Infront of your mom! Cuz I know a Muslima a practising one but she actually exposes herself Infront both of parents but not really my business so yeah ty! I

I dress(ed) up to see my mom. Little extra modesty, nicer clothes, eyeliner. A necklace she had given me. Seeing me healthy and well dressed is part of a mother's reward for guiding a daughter to adulthood. Ok i miss her extra now so im going to pray about it

this is such an interesting question! i am not religious at all; i would consider myself agnostic. however, i find myself gravitating toward clothing that is looser and covers more because it's more comfortable. i've always hated bathing suits; i just personally find them uncomfortable, and will at least put a shirt and shorts on over. i don't quite know how to explain it, but it would not feel respectful to me personally to dress in revealing clothes around my parents.

Great and respectful explanation 👍👍👍👍

"it's no one's place to tell me how to dress" Yeah well literally god told you to do so

You two are so lovely.. i learn so much from you both🙂

You have a wonderful attitude towards modesty and the right to choose how to dress! If only everyone had an attitude like yours, there would be no unkindness over this issue.

Do more for Muslim men

I am a wife of 20 years and mother of kids I still can not wear shorts, tank top, swimsuit I'm just too modest...... but it has taught my son's what to look for in a wife

I’m very modest when I dress around my mom. I won’t wear anything that shows my chest or mid section & I won’t wear my shorts in front of her either. Not because of our religion but the fact that it’s just disrespectful to just have everything hanging out in front of my mom or any family members.

Sadly my mum passed away but I always wear long pants and cover everything not for religious reasons I personally don't like shorts or short skirts it just looks not good on me I like modest clothing and colours. Great video.

When people say they are in no place to tell you to do a certain thing, I am not sure if that’s how it works since Muslims should be guiding others to follow the path of Allah. However when you feel offended that somebody told you to do something a certain way, don’t listen to them but listen to Allah. If you love Allah more than this world then you should only do whatever Allah has commanded you to do. So there it is, end of discussion. If you don’t wanna follow people’s advice then just follow Allah’s command.

Very nice explain

i’m not necessarily practicing any type of modesty but my parents will call me a vampire because my arms a bit pale because i wear jackets and hoodies a lot cause one i get cold easily and two i’m not comfortable showing off my body to just anyone and everyone but my parents calling me certain names because of my arms and legs and everything has made my try to cover up entirely i wear jackets and hoodies way more often that what i used to and now instead of wearing shorts a lot i now only wear pants so yeah i guess i do cover up in front of my parents

I am not religious, but I practice a degree of modesty anyway, especially around my family. I just do not feel comfortable being exposed around my family, so I will avoid even wearing tank tops or shorts around them, and will choose to wear flowy pants and a t-shirt in the summer months. I don't know why I do it, but I would say it's part just not wanting to give my family access to my body in that way, and part respect for my family.

I've always been modest around my parents, my neck is exposed in summer in their garden and my dad always jokes that I will get pneumonia 😂🧕🏼 I wear gloves all year also, fingerless in summer and full cover in winter. More layers than an onion

dressing modest is the only good thing muslim know how do

I was generally raised to dress well so i wouldn't ever wear booty shorts but i do wear things that match when we go out or if were at home just something comfortable like leggings and half zip or sometimes my pjs

And when you take care of eldery parents, do you wash them of is it a nurse?

Hey love your videos I'm learning so much about Muslims is that how you spell it? Enyway is it avensive it where a hijab even if you are not Muslim?

I'm a Muslim, yes I do practice modesty in front of my parents but not as this much as you do, but I do still respect your opinion though

Not religious but I am suuuper self concious about my body and like would probably be a bit more modest than when I'm home alone or out with close friends.

Just curious, do they have any Muslim designers? I would think that they would be conscious of modesty yet make breathable clothes for summer

slay also im mega immodest around my mom, we're family, so i feel comfy around my dad too sometime. im not religious, so

Are you allowed to get massages and chiropractic adjustments?

Honestly I wear anything in front of my mom cuz i thought it was something normal, and I am Muslim, ofc I don't walk around in bikini but I still wear shorts and t shirts in front of her

Ask your questions down about islam 👇

I dress how i want, but that’s normally like jeans and a t-shirt/swater, or tank top and shorts in the summer. I’m Norwegian, so i like to hike in the mountains.

We cover chest to knees in our home as well.

I do practise some modesty in front of my parents 😄

I honestly didnt grow up hiding my kneas or stomach near my parents. I wear pretty much anything when im with my mom, she’s probably the only person im comfortable with to wear clothes that show. (and this is only at home btw, outisde is different) ill be honest i didnt even know that u couldnt show some certain areas (like stomache and thighs) even to ur mom till this yr (tyy for that knowledge btw) 😊

such a weird question, but can a Muslim woman be a model or design revealing clothes? For example, a model like Bella Hadid, but a Muslim, would it be a sin? And a designer that designs croptops, shorts, maxi dresses, etc... Would it be a sin or is it okay cuz like what if someone's dream job as a Muslim is to be a model like what do they do 😭

That wink tho

#bringbackthelongmehdinatvvideos

I could be wrong but I think she meant that although you probably wouldn't wear that in front of your mother, she was surprised to hear it was not allowed in Islam. Maybe I am assuming that is what she meant because that is what I was thinking.

Question: is it wrong for me as a woman to wear loose trousers and loose sweatshirt going out??I am completely covered but I have been told it is wrong and I am "cross dressing"? I have some plain, or minimally decorated black abaya, would it be better to always wear them ??

I tend to cover up from my chest to my Knees in front of anyone but I believe that you be you and let me be me, I may ask question about how they came to the choice but it is not my place to judge anyone I am not perfect in any stretch of the imagination,but I am generally interested to learn about most things.

Do you go to an obgyn?

So you are like all of everyone else, you wear what you want when you want... No problem

I've never thought about it, but it is true, there are some sexier clothes I would never wear infant of anyone but my SO

Doesn't İslam say something about the shoulder and the width of the strap? I don't think tank tops or strapless would be sin free per se

Honestly I'm modest considering the time when I'm with my dad but in front of my mom noo 😂

I have a question, can you dress that way infront of your spouse?

You can't wear sleeveless ?

Okay, genuine question: pork is not halal, obviously. But are bacon/pork flavored things that do not contain animal-derived products halal?

I wear tank tops and shorts but it’s weird for me to show my private areas to my mom from chest to my knee why does she need to see that. My mom said she gave birth to me and have changed me, which I respect but I’m not comfortable and 23 lol I can take care of that.

Umm when I was 10 I used to wear tank tops and short shorts no but really short Now that im in my 20s I wear oversized clothes so I can have a little house 😂

Hiiiiiii

I’m pretty modest in front of my parents, too. I do wear a tank top and blue jeans, we don’t follow any religion. It’s just plain respect. There’s no need to show any cleavage, midriffs or butt. I do have a question - I’m deaf, and this has me wondering. I read lips, would you be comfortable in exposing your lips so I could lip read? This is a hypothetical question, doesn’t mean doing it on YT. It’s only if we were to meet up in person. I’m just curious.

I am a recent revert, at 56, I am finding how I dress complicated. I have never been one to show off my body, other than swimming. When I switched to a Muslim swim suit my mum was fine with it. Sadly I no longer go swimming because where I live trans "women" have an abuse right to enter female only spaces and I cannot accept that. The hijab is harder. My mum had strong feelings against it and I get massive panic attacks when I am in hijab. All I can do at this point is pray to Allah for strength and I ask anyone who reads this to pray for me. I want to be the best Muslim I can be but due to brain issues I am failing completly with even learning the prayers in Arabic. I have just found this channel and you are so happy and positive you give me hope. May Allah bless you and grant me the courage and strength I currently lack.

Love this video!!!!!
