Muslim woman takes a sauna in her hijab
Sauna were in the mainstream news recently. The British newspaper The Sun went with a story of a Muslim woman who took a sauna whilst dressed in full robes and her hijab. After enduring a sweltering ten minutes in the sauna, she cooled off in the pool for a further ten minutes, again in full robes and jihab. Staff didn’t highlight the dress code as they were apparently too worried about offending the woman. The sauna was populated with other users in normal swimming cozzy attire. Some pointed out the dress code but their comments when unregarded.
The incident took place in a David Lloyd fitness club and it’s not clear whether the womans motives were recreation or political.
