38. MEANING OF ARABIC TERM :
AURAT
From root -
‘AIN-WAU-RAA
 Anything which is veiled or conceals by reason of disdainful pride, or shame
of prudency; anything of which one is ashamed when it appears.
 This root also refers to the pudendum [or external genital organs] of a
human being because it is abominable to uncover and look at them.
 The parts or part of a person which is indecent to expose. Now this is
relative because for the slave women it will be indecent to expose what is
between the navel and the knee and of the free women it will be indecent
to expose everything except the hands and face. A fault, defect,
imperfection or blemish.

entire Muslim community is obligated by Islam
to continue the struggle to seek justice. “
