    Title: Bath in Open place

    Question: I live in a hostel. Here near the corridor there is a water tap. Can I bath there because people use to walk in the corridor and everyone can see that I am bathing. So is it permissible to take bath there?

    It is not good to develop the habit of taking bath in the corridor. However if one has to take a bath there occasionally then one should wrap some thick and loose cloth from navel to knees which does not expose the structure of body and after pouring water over the body the colour of the body does not reflect. In case women and girls pass from that corridor then one should be extra cautious and careful.
