What is Considered `Awra (Nakedness) for Men?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Seekersguidance.org

Answered by SeekersGuidance Answers Service

Question: Can you please explain what is considered awra for men and when it should be covered?

Answer: Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah,

The `awra for men includes the area from the end of the navel down to, and including the knee.  So the `awra does not include the navel, but it includes the entire knee.  [Ascent to Felicity, p.74]

The `awra should be covered at all times unless there is a need to uncover it.  This means that the `awra must be covered even when alone.
