Chapter: Looking at the Nakedness of One's Wife
• I asked Ishaq, saying: "May a slave-woman depilate (using lime/depilatory) her master?" He said: "That is severe [an issue]," and he mentioned from Makhul that his servant used to depilate him. I said: "What about a free woman depilating her husband?" He said: "The same," and he granted a concession in it. Ishaq mentioned the hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): "Guard your nakedness except from your wife or those whom your right hand possesses."
• I said to Ishaq: "May a man strip his wife or his slave-woman, and look at her while she is naked?" He said: "Avoiding that is safer, but if he does it, there is no blame upon him."
392 - 'Amr ibn 'Uthman narrated to us, saying: Baqiyyah ibn al-Walid narrated to us, saying: 'Utbah ibn Abi Hakim narrated to me, saying: Sulayman ibn Musa narrated to me—and I asked him about a man looking at his wife's private part—so Sulayman said: "I asked 'Ata' about that, and he said: 'A'ishah, the wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), narrated to me in this house, with a screen between us and her, and she said: "I and my beloved [the Prophet] used to bathe from a single vessel, our hands alternating in it." He [Sulayman] said: "And she pointed to a vessel in the house the size of a faraq; six qist.""
باب: النَّظَر إلى عَورَة امرَأَتِه
• سألت إسحاق، قلت: الأَمَة تُنَوِّر سَيِّدها؟ قال: «شَديدًا»، وذَكَرَ عن مَكحُول أن خَادِمَه كانت تُنَوِّره. قلت: فالمرأة الحُرَّة تُنَوِّر زَوجها؟ قال: «كذلك»، ورَخَّص فيه، وذكر إسحاق حديث النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم: «احفظ عَورَتك إلا من زَوجَتك أو ما مَلَكَت يَمينك».
• قلت لإسحاق: الرجل يُعَرِّي امرَأته أو مُلكَ يَمينه، فيَنظُر إلَيها عريانة؟ قال: «تَرك ذلك أَسلَم، وإن فَعَلَ فلَيسَ عَلَيه شيء».
٣٩٢ - حدثنا عَمرو بن عُثمان، قال: ثنا بَقيَّة بن الوَليد، قال: وحدثني عتبة بن أبي حكيم، قال: حدثني سُلَيمان بن موسَى -وسَأَلته عن الرجل يَنظُر إلى فَرج امرَأته-؛ فقال سُلَيمان: سألت عَطاء عن ذلك، فقال: حدثتني عائشَة زَوج النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم في هذا البيت، وبَينَنا وبَينَها حِجاب، قالت: «كُنت أنا وحِبِّي نَغتَسل من إناءٍ واحِد، تَختَلِف فيه أَكُفُّنا». قال: وأشارَت إلى إناءٍ في البيت قَدر الفَرَق؛ سِتّ أقساط.
