Ask your wife partner or daughter to go on the public beach wearing a bikini and then ask the police the same question.
To be fair it isn't illegal or banned to wear bikinis in Qater, in fact out of the middle easts countries Qatar is probabaly one of the least draconian when it comes to women.
On the beach thing it isn't just the middle east tbf who cover up on beaches, go to a non tourist local beach in thailand say and nearly all locals will swim in shorts and T-shirts not bikinis and swiming suits as culturally it is encouraged to be modest, I do believe also men going shirtless in many places or kissing in public is not common for the same reasons of modesty
