اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، وَابْنُ مَوْهَبٍ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ : " أَنَّ أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ اسْتَأْذَنَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْحِجَامَةِ فَأَمَرَ أَبَا طَيْبَةَ أَنْ يَحْجُمَهَا ، قَالَ : حَسِبْتُ أَنَّهُ ، قَالَ : كَانَ أَخَاهَا مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ أَوْ غُلَامًا لَمْ يَحْتَلِمْ " .
Narrated Jabir: Umm Salamah asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ permission for getting herself cupped. He commanded Abu Tibah to cup her. The transmitter said: I think he was her foster-brother or a boy not yet of age.

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
➊ The same ruling applies to minor children who are not yet aware of women's private matters and to purchased slaves; therefore, when necessary, it is permissible for a woman to reveal her adornment in their presence.
➋ In an Islamic society, it is necessary to arrange for female physicians (lady doctors) for the medical treatment of women, so that they do not have to appear before non-mahram male doctors.
➌ A woman's hair is part of her inner adornment, which she cannot reveal before a non-mahram.

Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: From this hadith, it is understood that a woman should seek her husband's permission for medical treatment, and it is better that she receives treatment from a mahram (close male relative whom she cannot marry). This is because the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) sent Abu Taybah, who was her foster brother.
