حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ قُدَامَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ . ح وحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ جَمِيعًا ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ ، قَالَ ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى عَنْ أَبِي الْمَلِيحِ ، قَالَ : دَخَلَ نِسْوَةٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الشَّامِ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا ، فَقَالَتْ : مِمَّنْ أَنْتُنَّ ؟ قُلْنَ : مِنْ أَهْلِ الشَّامِ ، قَالَتْ : لَعَلَّكُنَّ مِنَ الْكُورَةِ الَّتِي تَدْخُلُ نِسَاؤُهَا الْحَمَّامَاتِ ؟ قُلْنَ : نَعَمْ ، قَالَتْ : أَمَا إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " مَا مِنَ امْرَأَةٍ تَخْلَعُ ثِيَابَهَا فِي غَيْرِ بَيْتِهَا إِلَّا هَتَكَتْ مَا بَيْنَهَا وَبَيْنَ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى " ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : هَذَا حَدِيثُ جَرِيرٍ وَهُوَ أَتَمُّ ، وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ جَرِيرٌ أَبَا الْمَلِيحِ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ .
Narrated Aishah, Ummul Muminin: Abul Malih said: Some women of Syria came to Aishah. She asked them: From whom are you? They replied: From the people of Syria. She said: Perhaps you belong to the place where women enter hot baths (for washing ). The said: Yes. She said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: If a woman puts off her clothes in a place other than her house, she tears the veil between her and Allah, the Exalted. Abu Dawud said: This is the tradition narrated by Jarir, and it is more perfect. Jarir did not mention Abu al-Malih. He said (on the authority of 'Aishah) that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said.

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
➊ It is forbidden (haram) for a Muslim woman to be negligent regarding her veil (hijab) outside her home; therefore, it is forbidden for them to go to public bathhouses. By analogy, the tribulation and trial of modern-day beauty parlors can also be included in this ruling.
➋ The meaning of the veil between a woman and Allah being torn is that she herself puts her honor and dignity at stake, and in no way can she save herself from disgrace and humiliation.

Benefits and Issues:
➊
The word "hammam" is derived from "hameem" (hot water), because arrangements for bathing with hot water are made there. Later, every place for bathing began to be called a hammam, whether there was hot water or cold.
➋
There used to be attendants present in the hammam to assist with bathing. Going there was prohibited because people did not observe proper covering of the private parts (satr) in front of these attendants. If one takes care to cover the private parts, then it is permissible to seek help from attendants in washing and scrubbing the rest of the body.
➌
A woman's entire body is considered satr (to be covered), therefore she has been prohibited from seeking help from anyone in the hammam. For her, it is better to bathe at home.
➍
If a woman arranges to bathe with hot water at home and bathes without anyone's help, or takes help from her husband, then there is no harm in this.
➎
Where men bathe naked in front of each other, as is customary in non-Muslim countries, it is also prohibited for Muslim men to bathe with them, because just as it is obligatory to cover one's own private parts, it is also prohibited to look at someone else's private parts.
