شرح الحديث :

Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) reports that she was at the house of the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and Maymūnah was there. ‘Abdullāh ibn Umm Maktūm entered – and he was a blind man – and this was after the revelation of the verses of Hijab. So he ordered them both to be covered in his presence although he was blind. The two women said: “O Messenger of Allah, is he not blind? He can neither see us nor can he recognize us.” He then said: “Are the two of you blind? Put on your Hijab in his presence.” So he ordered them to cover themselves in front of the man even if he is blind. However, this Hadīth is weak, because all of the authentic Hadīths contradict it. An example, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said to Fātimah bint Qays: “Observe your post-divorce waiting period at the home of Ibn Umm Maktūm, for he is a blind man and you can take off your clothes in front of him.” This Hadīth is narrated by Al-Bukhāri and Muslim. Based on this, it is not prohibited for the woman to look at a man, even if he is a non-Mahram on condition that it is not a lustful or gratifying look. Allah, the Almighty, said: ﴿And tell the believing women to lower their gaze﴾ [Sūrat An-Nūr: 31]. That is why, women during the lifetime of the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) used to attend the mosque and the men would not be screened from them. Had it not been lawful for a woman to see a man, it would have been obligatory for men to screen themselves just as it is obligatory for women to cover themselves in front of men. So, the sound opinion in this regard is that a woman may look at a man, but without lust or sexual pleasure.
