Answer:
Ghusl and see
oneself nude naked
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.
Your
Question: i mean person while taking bath should cover his private part.
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:
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.
Your
Question: And one more thing removing pubic hairs is permissible,
Sahih Al-Bukhari
Hadith 7.779 Narrated by Abu
Huraira
I heard the Prophet
(saws) saying. "Five practices are characteristics of the Fitra (nature): removing
the pubic hair, clipping the nails, depilating the hair of the armpits;
and circumcision and cutting the moustaches short (for the males)
Both the believing men and the believing women are
required to remove their unwanted hair from their pubic region and from under
their armpits at least once in a period of forty days.
Your
Question: ….while removing the person see his private parts thus this caunt as
zina of eyes.
It is only natural
and expected that when one cleanses oneself after using the toilet, or when one takes a ‘ghusl’ or full bath, or
when one removes one’s pubic hair, etc. that one’s sight may fall on one’s own
private parts…..and to the best of our knowledge there is absolutely nothing in
the Shariah which declares that the seeing of one’s own private organs
constitutes ‘zina’ of the eyes!
The ‘zina’ of the eyes only comes into effect when one
intentionally watches an element of ‘fahisha’ (shameless or indecent things and
acts like semi-clad non-mehram women, acts of sexuality in magazines,
television, movies, etc.) The sight of
one’s own private organs due to necessity do not constitute an act of ‘zina’ of
the eyes in the least!
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,
