باب تَحْرِيمِ النَّظَرِ فِي بَيْتِ غَيْرِهِ ‏‏

Sahih Muslim 2158a
حَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ سُهَيْلٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ ‏ ‏.‏
"‏ مَنِ اطَّلَعَ فِي بَيْتِ قَوْمٍ بِغَيْرِ إِذْنِهِمْ فَقَدْ حَلَّ لَهُمْ أَنْ يَفْقَئُوا عَيْنَهُ ‏"
Abu Huraira reported having heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) say:

He who peeped into the house of people without their consent, it is permissible for them to put out his eyes.
