Ruling on seeing a child's private parts
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Sometimes the questioner says: I enter the bathroom with my young daughters, who are five and seven years old, to help them clean their hair. If I see their private parts, is there anything wrong with that?
Answer:
There is no blame in that, as long as they are under seven, they have no private parts. Cleaning the boys and girls and helping them with their hygiene; all of this is permissible. However, if a child reaches seven, no, he must be covered, his private parts must be covered, and he should not be touched except out of necessity. His mother may touch him for the sake of cleaning him, or the maid may touch him for cleaning; there is no harm in that, if he is not cleaning himself, if he does not know how to clean himself, yes.
