Hadith.4976 - Al-Qasim ibn Muhammad Al-Jawhari narrated from Ali ibn Abi Hamzah from Abu Basir, who said
"I asked Abu Abdullah (as) about a man who examines a slave woman to purchase her.
Imam (as) 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.'"
4976 - 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".
