The intimate parts of the human body must, according to Islam, be covered by clothing. Exposing the intimate parts of the body is unlawful in Islam as the Quran instructs the covering of genitals, and for adult females, also the breasts. Exposing them is regarded as sin. Precisely which body parts must be covered varies between different schools of Islamic thought. The Quran admonishes Muslim women to dress modestly and cover their breasts and genitals.〔Martin et al. (2003), Encyclopedia of Islam & the Muslim World, Macmillan Reference, ISBN 978-0028656038〕 The Quran explicitly states that "O wives of the Prophet, you are not like anyone among women" (Quran 33: 32) and as such has separate rules specifically for the wives of the Prophet. 'Awrah may be exposed for emergencies such as surgery. ==Etymology== In Arabic, the term '' 'awrah'' or '' 'awrat'' ((アラビア語:عورة)) derives from the root ‘a-w-r which means "defectiveness", "imperfection", "blemish" or "weakness". However, the most common English translation is "nakedness".〔Wehr Arabic-English Dictionary pg 131〕 In Persian and Kurdish ((ペルシア語:عورت)) as well as Urdu, the word '' 'awrat'' derived from the Arabic '' 'awrah'', had been used widely to mean "woman". Consulting Mohammad Moin's dictionary of Persian, '' 'awrah'' leads to two significations: # Nakedness # Young woman〔Moin Dictionary, 1994〕 Other derivatives range in meaning from blind in one eye, false or artificial, among others.〔El Guindy, Awrah, page 141〕 Traditionally the word '' 'awrat'', alongside the word ''za'ifeh'' (which derives from Arabic ''ḍa'īf'' ((アラビア語:ضعيف)), meaning weak) has been associated with femininity and women who lived under the protection of a man. In modern day Iran, using the two words ('' 'awrah'' and ''za'ifah'') to refer to women is uncommon and is considered sexist language. Instead, the words ''zan'' and ''xânom'' are used. In Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, the word ''za'if'' is still used in the Tajik dialect of Persian and its subdialects. In Turkish, ''avrat'' is one of the ways to say 'woman', but is used more in the rural area and may also mean 'wife', especially the way the husband calls his wife. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Intimate parts in Islam」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
