Prohibition of peeking before permission
Hadith 2526
ـ (مَنْ كشَفَ سِتْراً، فأَدخَلَ بصَرَه في البيْتِ قبْلَ أن يؤْذَنَ له، فرأَى عورةَ أهلِه؛ فقدْ أتَى حدّاً لا يحلُّ له أنْ يأْتيَه؛ لو أنه حينَ أدخَلَ بصَرَهُ استقبلَه رجلٌ ففقأَ عينَه ما غَيَّرت عليه، وإنْ مرَّ الرّجلُ على بابٍ لا ستْرَ له غيرَ مغْلَقٍ فنظَر فلا خطيئةَ عليه؛ إنما الخطيئةُ على أهْلِ البيْتِ) .
Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Whoever lifts the curtain (of someone's house) and starts looking inside the house without permission, and sees the private matters of the household, then he has committed such a transgression that is not lawful for him. If (at that moment), while he is looking, someone comes and puts out his eye, I would not blame him for it. However, if a person passes by a door that has no curtain and is not closed, then there is no sin on the one who looks inside such a house, but the sin will be upon the household."
