The summer season is equivalent to pool season. People love going poolside or beachside to enjoy the waters. Women get uncomfortable because of the swimwear available for them in the market. Some are too revealing and some are stuck to the body, taking the shape of the body. As a solution, Burkini was introduced in the market by an Australian Muslim by the name Aheda Zanetti. It is swimwear designed for Muslim women according to Islamic traditions. It is a lightweight product that is easy for women to carry around.
Many people have a misconception that a burkini and burqa are the same but are completely different. A burkini is swimwear, whereas a burqa is a clothing item worn over normal clothes. Burkini is not exactly traditional wear rather swimwear thus, symbolizing fitness. It was designed to make Muslim women more used to the western style of clothing and also get liberated from the restricting norms of the Islamic culture. Burkini covers most of the body parts of the woman wearing it. Because of this invention, Islamic women can now be seen as participants in international competitions related to sports.
Another fact is that many people in the west call an Islamic clothing item a burka. But the actual name of that item is Niqab. It covers the whole body of the woman wearing it, even the face and the eyes. Only a slit is given as an option sometimes to see. Some people have an opinion that this is oppressing to women and should not be continued as a practice. This misconception that the Quran states these norms should be cleared. It does not require Islamic women to cover their faces as well. The part about the covering of the female body is true only till the body parts not including feet, hands, and face. This practice of wearing a Niqab is undermining women and makes it difficult for them to do the basic chores.
Wearing a burkini is a choice for Islamic women. Also, some women do not go out of their houses to do shopping regularly. For them, and everyone around the world, many retailers have opened up shop on the online portals and provide all Islamic clothing as well as burkini. It is made available in all sizes, colors, and patterns. Women can decide which is the best for them and select accordingly. They can take opinions from the rest of the family members as well about the product. For each product, sample pictures are given. Women do not need to stand in lines anymore and get the products delivered to them at their homes. There is also no need to worry about the exchange of the product, in case not suitable. Many websites offer great after-sales services for this purpose.
