This might be a weird question but I’ve genuinely been wondering about the Islamic perspective on it.

Is it wrong/sinful to work out specifically for aesthetic reasons — like wanting a smaller waist, a bigger bum, more curves, etc.?

I know exercise itself is encouraged in Islam and taking care of your body is important, but what about when the motivation is partly appearance-based rather than just health?

For example, a lot of women train glutes, core, waist, etc. specifically to shape their body. If the goal is to feel more confident, feminine, or attractive (rather than showing off publicly), is that considered vanity/tabarruj, or is it permissible?

Question for married sisters about beach trips

Salaam sisters 🤍

Just curious how others approach this in marriage — if your husband wants to go to the beach, but it’s the kind of beach where most people are wearing bikinis?

what do you usually do?

Do you still go and just focus on your own time together, prefer different kinds of beaches, or handle it another way? No judgment at all, just interested in hearing different perspectives.

Salaam, genuine question for hijabis who wear abayas regularly in hot weather — do you always wear clothes underneath, or is underwear enough if the abaya is fully opaque and loose? Summers are getting really hot and I’m struggling with sweating/layers. Would appreciate advice 🤍
