Can a Muslim view a female unclothed?
Question
The question text was not published separately; the title stands in for it.
Can a Muslim view a female unclothed?
Answer
It is not permissible for a male to see the entire body of a strange female (Ghayr Mahram with whom marriage is permissible).
The above ruling excludes a wife as it is permissible for the husband to look at his wife being uncovered. However, that too should be avoided as it is against morality and shame.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
