Fatwa CenterMen showing their chests in the presence of women
Question
Salam alaikum, Is it halaal for men to walk around showing their chest when women can see as long as their awra is covered?
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger. We ask Allaah to exalt his mention as well as that of his family and all his companions.
In principle it is permissible for a man to show his chest or any part of his body which is not an 'Awrah (parts of the body that should be covered in Islam) even in the presence of women. Nonetheless, a Muslim should not do so without a need as this is not an act of noble men. In addition to this, this act may cause women to be tempted by you, so you should be careful.
Allaah Knows best.
