Riyad as-Salihin, 1627
Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri (May Allah be pleased with him) said:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "A man must not look at a man's private parts nor must a woman look at a woman's private parts; neither should two men lie naked under one cover, nor should two women lie naked under the same cover." <b>[Muslim]</b>.
وعن أبي سعيد رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال:
لا ينظر الرجل إلى عورة الرجل، ولا المرأة إلى عورة المرأة، ولا يفضي الرجل إلى الرجل في ثوب واحد، ولا تفضي المرأة إلى المرأة في ثوب واحد
((رواه مسلم)).

<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br>
1) It is impermissible for a man to look at the ‘Awrah of another man, and it is impermissible for a woman to look at the ‘Awrah of another woman.<br>
2) Islam is keen on preserving the chastity of the community and on blocking all the ways of Satan that lead to the widespread of immorality. This is one of the merits of this great legislation.
