Doesn't correlate well with practicing yoga, AFAICT.)<br /><br />Although a search for "Muslim women yoga pants" seems to indicate this is a thing. There's even a quora thread on this question.jaedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03328666344764784829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19305198.post-74580458109805047702018-01-22T15:35:02.472-05:002018-01-22T15:35:02.472-05:00Interesting.

Maybe it's not odd. Maybe it's just my lack of understanding. And maybe it's just two people.Assistant Village Idiothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01978011985085795099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19305198.post-6837686586572824212018-01-22T14:28:42.145-05:002018-01-22T14:28:42.145-05:00There are fatwas all over the place on this one, i...There are fatwas all over the place on this one, if you look into it. But I think the bigger issue for a really pious Muslim is whether they should practice yoga at all, given its deep ties to Hinduism. Arguably the American form is so secularized that it won't matter; arguably the panentheistic aspects survive, and threaten Islamic orthodoxy in several respects.

It could be that covering skin and hair is sufficient, even if one's shape shows. (I've seen "modest bathing suits for Muslimahs" that are basically wetsuits—with a hood for the hair.)jaedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03328666344764784829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19305198.post-40061908313655956642018-01-22T00:01:54.572-05:002018-01-22T00:01:54.572-05:00Headscarf and shapeless garment over the torso, bu...Headscarf and shapeless garment over the torso, but not extending below the waist.
