حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، أَنْبَأَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، قَال : سَمِعْتُ سَالِمَ بْنَ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ يُحَدِّثُ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْمَلِيحِ الْهُذَلِيِّ، أَنَّ نِسَاءً مِنْ أَهْلِ حِمْصَ ، أَوْ مِنْ أَهْلِ الشَّامِ دَخَلْنَ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ، فَقَالَتْ : أَنْتُنَّ اللَّاتِي يَدْخُلْنَ نِسَاؤُكُنَّ الْحَمَّامَاتِ ، سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " مَا مِنَ امْرَأَةٍ تَضَعُ ثِيَابَهَا فِي غَيْرِ بَيْتِ زَوْجِهَا إِلَّا هَتَكَتِ السِّتْرَ بَيْنَهَا وَبَيْنَ رَبِّهَا " ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ .
´Narrated Abu Al-Malih Al-Hudhali:` that some women from the inhabitants of Hims, or from the inhabitants of Ash-Sham entered upon 'Aishah, so she said: "Are you those whose women enter the Hammamat? I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saying: 'No woman removes her garments in other than the house of her husband except that she has torn the screen between herself and her Lord.'"

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.
