The questioner : A question from a non-Muslim student of the People of the Book who is among us and who exposes the private parts of Muslim women with us; what is the ruling on this, and what should be done about it?
The Shaykh : The ruling on this is that there is no harm in it when there is a need, as we have mentioned previously.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : However, we add a second condition, which is that we must be safe from these people; we must be safe from them to the extent that we trust their integrity. A disbeliever may be trustworthy in such matters. So, if we are safe from them and there is a need for it, there is no harm in it. Likewise, we should add this restriction regarding the Muslim as well, for how many Muslims are not trustworthy regarding the private parts of Muslim women and what is exposed of them.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : This message is from the presenter, Ahmad Hasan Muhsin.
