He said: This is in the Quran: {And not to display their adornment} (22), except for such and such. I asked: So may he look (23) at the leg of his father's wife and her chest? He said: No, that (24) does not please me. Then he said: I dislike for a man to look at his mother or his sister in such a manner, or to look at anything with desire. The judge (al-Qadi) mentioned that the ruling for a man with his unmarriageable kin (mahram) is the same as the ruling for a man with another man, or a woman with another woman. Abu Bakr stated: Ahmad's dislike of looking at the leg or chest of one's mother is a matter of caution, because it invites desire; meaning that it is disliked (makruh) but not prohibited (haram). Al-Hasan, al-Sha'bi, and al-Dahhak prohibited looking at the hair of one's unmarriageable kin. It is narrated from Hind bint al-Muhallab (25) that she said: I asked al-Hasan: May a man look at his sister's earring or (26) her neck? He replied: No, and may he be deprived of honor (la karamah). Al-Dahhak said: If I were to enter upon my mother, I would say: O old woman, cover your hair. The correct view is that it is permissible to look at what usually appears, due to the saying of Allah the Exalted: {And not to display their adornment except to their husbands}, and the rest of the verse. Sahlah bint Suhayl said: O Messenger of Allah, we used to consider Salim as a son, and he would stay with me and my father Hudhayfah in one house, and he would see me in my casual dress (27), and Allah [the Exalted] (28) has revealed regarding them what you know, so how do you view the matter? The Prophet - peace and blessings of Allah be upon him - said to her: "Breastfeed him." She breastfed him five times, and he became like her own son. Recorded by Abu Dawud (29) and others. This (30) is evidence that he used to look at what usually appears of her, for she said: "He sees me in my casual dress" (27), meaning in the comfortable attire that does not cover her extremities. Imru' al-Qays (31) said:
