Summary
These guidelines are meant for government staff and Muslim members of the public transacting at state government premises, and are based on the concept and principles of aurat in Islam. A man's aurat before other men and his mahram women is between the navel and knees, while before non-mahram women it is his whole body. A woman's aurat before non-mahram men is her whole body except the face and both palms, and before non-Muslim women it is her whole body except the parts that are visible when working: the head, face, neck, hands up to the elbows and the feet.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Aurat perempuan dihadapan lelaki yang bukan mahramnya ialah seluruh tubuh badan kecuali muka dan kedua tapak tangannya.
