The '''intimate parts''' ({{langx|ar|عورة}} '''''{{transliteration|ar|ALA-LC|'awrah}}''''', {{lang|ar|ستر}}, ''{{transliteration|ar|ALA-LC|satr}}'') of the human body must, according to [[Islam]], be covered by clothing. Most modern Islamic scholars {{who?|date=May 2025}} agree that the ''<nowiki/>'awrah'' of a man is the area between the navel and the knees, and the ''<nowiki/>'awrah'' of a woman is the entire body except the face and hands {{Citation needed|date=May 2025}}. Exposing the ''<nowiki/>'awrah'' of the body is against [[Islamic law]].

The [[Quran]] addresses the concept of '''awrah'' several times. [[Islamic scholar]]s have used the relevant [[surah]]s and the [[hadith]]s to elaborate the concept of ''<nowiki/>'awrah'' which is used in [[fatwa]]s.
