Female learning swimming
Question
I'm going to take my 3 year old son to learn swimming. I would like to know if it will be permissible for me to learn swimming if it is in the female area with normal decent dress and going fully covered?
Answer
For females to go swimming in a public area is not at all safe. A public area is not in your control and you do not know what happens and what goes on there.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
