Chapter on What Has Been Reported Regarding Looking at Women
وَ رَوَى اَلْقَاسِمُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ اَلْجَوْهَرِيُّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَعْتَرِضُ اَلْأَمَةَ لِيَشْتَرِيَهَا قَالَ "لاَ بَأْسَ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَى مَحَاسِنِهَا وَ يَمَسَّهَا مَا لَمْ يَنْظُرْ إِلَى مَا لاَ يَنْبَغِي لَهُ اَلنَّظَرُ إِلَيْهِ".
Al-Qasim ibn Muhammad Al-Jawhari narrated from Ali ibn Abi Hamzah from Abu Basir, who said: "I asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام about a man who examines a slave woman to purchase her. Imam عليه السلام said: 'There is no harm in looking at her attractive features and touching her, as long as he does not look at what is not appropriate for him to see.'"
