This study has tackles the sixth and seventh century poetry describing
baths which were widely spread in the Islamic world cities and attended
by the lower and upper classes in societies. It also tackles the issue of
whether attending these places
is permissible or not from a religious point
of view.
The study is comprised of : an introduction, a preface, and six themes:
the structure of baths, tools used in baths, bathing specialist, baths'
visitors, praising and satiring the baths themselves. As far as I know, this
is a pioneering study in this area as I did not find an independent study on
this phenomenon in that particular period of time.
