<![CDATA[This study analyzes hadiths concerning the boundaries of a woman's aurat (intimate parts that must be covered) as interpreted in a modern context and examines how social media influences Muslim perspectives and practices regarding this issue - a topic that remains widely debated. Employing a qualitative content analysis approach grounded in hadith criticism, the study analyzes content from TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube to explore circulating narratives about aurat boundaries. Analysis of Instagram content reveals the use of hadiths to assert that women's feet constitute aurat requiring coverage, a view that has garnered significant positive user response. Meanwhile, YouTube serves as a platform for religious scholars to discuss aurat boundaries, showcasing diverse scholarly opinions on which body parts must be covered. The research also highlights that social media interactions are often shaped by content presentation and user responses, which sometimes lack critical engagement with primary sources. This study aims to provide new insights into the interplay between religious tradition and modern technology, as well as its implications for religious practice in contemporary Muslim society - specifically by offering a critical mapping of how hadiths concerning women's aurat are understood and disseminated within the digital space.]]>
