Is it permissible to look at another person's private part even if of similar sex?

Abu Sa'id al Khudri Radiyallahu anhu reported that Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, “A man should not see the private parts of another man, and a woman should not see the private parts of another woman, and a man should not lie with another man under one covering, and a woman should not lie with another woman under one covering.” [Sahih Muslim].

"Exposing the intimate parts of the body is unlawful in Islam as the Quran instructs the covering of male and female genitals, and for adult females the breasts. Exposing them is normally considered sinful. Exposing intimate parts when needed, such as going to the toilet or bathing, falls under a specific set of rules." Intimate parts in Islam.

Based on what is contained on IslamQA about the topic, the ‘awrah of a woman in front of her mahrams is her entire body except that which usually appears such as the face and hair, neck, forearms and feet. The ‘awrah of a woman with another woman is the area between the navel and the knee. The ‘awrah of a man is the area between the navel and the knee; as for the navel and the knee themselves, they are not part of the ‘awrah. Some scholars are of the opinion that knee is awrah also and must be covered.

According to Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) said: It is not permissible for a young man to play football, for example, wearing only shorts that do not reach the knees or that do not reach the navel. It is essential that the area between the navel and the knee be covered in the case of young men.

Many of us still fall in this prohibition. We often think there is no problem if we look at our friend's awrah since we are of the same sex. But that is not permissible! Since we know we are prohibited from doing so, please let's refrain from doing it.

Alhamdulillah for Islam that curbs nudity, homosexualism, fornication, etc from its root.

Lower your gaze!

Is this rule applicable to a medical doctor, specifically a gynecologist attending to a woman that is about to give birth?

What of the case of a patient that has contracted a genital infection. During laboratory test and diagnosis, would the laboratory attendant or doctor close his/her eyes while attending to the patient?

What of the woman that has Breast Cancer, is it her husband that would perform Chemotherapy for her?

How about a male doctor attending to a woman?


Some of these laws must be scrapped as they no longer make sense.
Do they play ball with trousers in Saudi?

Then there should be not boarding school or hostel o..

Very funny.

It is better for them to ban sexual intercourse it is Haram...that act brings more vampires, terrorists in this world.

If only u people take peace and peaceful coexistence serious as you take ur Mohammad and Allah, the world will be a better and peaceful place.

Islam teaches us to seek knowledge.

For those saying otherwise, I would like to inform you that Islam also give condition and consideration where necessary.

Islam is the most transparent and complete religion. Inshort ISlam is the complete way of Life.
Islam is nature. It's natural to be a Muslim and unnatural not to be a Muslim.

Alhamdulilah.
Allahu Alam.

Another turd from a ‘scholar’.

If God did not want men to see each other’s navels and is so ‘haramic’ about it, he would have created men with covered navels.

He would have created clothes for humans.

What the turd writer fails to grasp is that clothing is a human invention and cloth designs, textures and mode are all cultural.

Some cultures favour full coverage in certain seasons and some favour being free.

These kind of gibberish tries to make humans seem like robots.

Black people with black mentality, can someone use trouser to play football... Anyway I don hear

Eniolohunda:
ALHAMDULILAH FOR BEING A MUSLIM. YOU SEE NAIRALAND CHRISTIANS ARE THE MOST INTOLERANT AND STUPID THAT I'VE EVER SEEN. WHENEVER THEY SEE A TREND ABOUT OTHER RELIGIONS, THEY MUST SURELY COME AND SHOW THEIR STUPIDITY, YET THEY CLAIM MOST PEACEFUL AND ALWAYS CRYING MARGINALIZATION. BUNCH OF ILLITERATES!

but you kill Christians that preach to fellow Christians, you burn churches because it holds gatherings outside the church premises. Have you heard of such happening in the reverse before?

A female doctor should standin in such case

The basic foundation of treatment in Islam is let male doctors treat male patients and vice versa. However, in case of necessities where there is no specialist that can treat the woman, and only male doctors are available as experts, then the following rule applies.

The first male would be a Muslim and her husband or father must be with her in the room because it is Haram for a man to be with another woman solely in a room.

If a Muslim male doctor is not available and waiting for one might cost her death, then we move to a non--muslim doctor with a track record of modesty and chastity in his profession. The husband or father must also be with them.

Like this, the doctors will be confirmed by their modesty before they are allowed to treat her.

But know that a female non--muslim doctor is of a high priority than the male Muslim. By this she should be treated!
