Answer:
Can women see other women nude
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask
for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever
He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that
there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that
Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
The ‘satr’ of the believing woman which must be absolutely
covered at all times before her mehram male relatives and the other woman is minimum
from the beginning of her breasts to her knees (inclusive).
Sunan of
Abu-Dawood Hadith 4007 Narrated by Abu
Sa'id al-Khudri
The Prophet (saws)
said: ‘A man should not look at the private parts of another man, and a woman
should not look at the private parts of another woman. A man should not lie
with another man without wearing lower garment under one cover; and a woman
should not lie with another woman without wearing lower garment under one
cover.’
It would be absolutely impermissible and forbidden in
Shariah for a believing woman who sincerely fears Allah and the Last Day to
expose her private parts which are included within her ‘satr’ to anyone other
than her husband in marriage, for the only people between whom there is no
‘satr’ is between a husband and a wife in Islam. It would also be forbidden for
one to intentionally see the ‘satr’ of any other except one’s husband or wife.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to
Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only
Source of Strength.
Your brother and
well wisher in Islam,
