Answer:
Islam forbids father
from seeing daughter 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.
Islam absolutely and categorically forbids and prohibits
the believers, regardless of whether male or female, from intentionally
watching the private parts of another adult except one’s spouse bonded in the
sacred union of marriage.
Islam obviously does not encourage a father from watching
the private parts of one’s children.…. but if one’s child, regardless of whether
male or female, is an infant or in the earliest stages of childhood when they
have developed absolutely no sense of shame, and there is a necessity (like
changing of diapers, or giving them a bath, etc.), there is no harm if the
father happens to see or witness the private parts of one’s child.
But if and when one’s child, regardless of whether they
are male or female, reach the age when they develop the sense of shame……it
would be akin to piety and righteousness that their parents and guardians guide
them to scrupulously guard their private parts.
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,
Burhan
