Answer:
Ghusl naked 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.
Al-Tirmidhi Hadith 3115 Narrated by Abdullah ibn Umar
Allah's Messenger (saws) said: "Avoid
being naked, for with you are those who never leave you (the Angels) except
when you are in the privy (toilet, private bathroom, etc.) and when a man has
intercourse with his wife; so observe modesty before them and honor them."
Islam absolutely discourages and prohibits nakedness,
except in two circumstances:
- When
one is in the privy, toilet, private bathroom, etc. relieving oneself, or
taking a bath, or changing one’s clothes, etc.
- When
one is enjoying conjugal relations with one’s wife.
Provided one is absolutely confident that one is
absolutely alone and their ‘satr’ will not be exposed to anyone (except their
spouse in marriage), there is absolutely no harm and no restriction if one
wishes to perform their ‘ghusl’ or take their bath in a state of nudity in
their private bathrooms. But if there is
a fear or a probability that someone might be able to see or watch them, then
it would be required to cover one’s ‘satr’ when taking a bath in public places
or view.
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.

well wisher in Islam,
