Allah said: Go down; you are enemies one of the other. For you there is dwelling and provision on the earth for a while. He continued: You shall live there, and there shall you die, and from it you shall be raised to life. O Children of Adam! Indeed We have sent down to you a garment which covers your shame and provides protection and adornment. But the finest of all is the garment of piety. That is one of the signs of Allah so that they may take heed. Children of Adam! Let not Satan deceive you in the manner he deceived your parents out of Paradise, pulling off from them their clothing to reveal to them their shame. He and his host surely see you from whence you do not see them. We have made satans the guardians of those who do not believe. And when such people commit an indecent act they say: We found our fathers doing that, and Allah has enjoined it on us. 6 Say: Surely Allah never enjoins any indecency. Do you say things regarding Allah that you do not know?____________________________________________________ 6.

The women were even more shameless than men. They considered it a ritual which had both religious sanction and merit.
