Islamic swimsuits: useless?

[ahmed_indian]

:salam2:,

i was wondering whats the purpose of so-called Islamic swimsuits.

i saw some of them. they are so tight that they are not permitted in front of non-mahram men. (also women and mahram).

and if you want to swim with females only, its not necessary to cover your complete body.

so why do we make them?

salaam alaikum,
brthr u have a point......
i also used to wonder abt the same
bt none the less u have to cover ur body evn in front of ur mahareem except ur husband.
u have to extend ur scarf upon ur chest evn in the presence of ur father at least thats wat i heard Dr. Israr Ahmad say....
rest jazakallah khairn

Not only is it kind of not hijab, but it takes the fun out of swimming. almost all public pools have a womens or womens and childrens only swim hour.
