Book of Namaz

When a sick person who lies naked under a blanket performs
namâz by signs with his head inside the blanket, he has performed
it naked. If he performs it keeping his head outside the blanket, he
will have performed it covering himself with the blanket, which is
acceptable.
A man, if he feels secure of lust, can look at the heads, faces,
necks, arms, legs below the knees of the eighteen women who are
harâm for him to marry by nikâh. He cannot look at their breasts,
at spaces under their arms, at their flanks, thighs, knees or upper
parts of their back.
For a woman, sons of her uncles and aunts are nâ-mahram. Her
brother-in-law and her sister's husband are also nâ-mahram. It is
harâm for her to talk to them or to be at the same place with them.
It is harâm for men to talk to daughters of their paternal uncles,
paternal aunts, maternal uncles, maternal aunts. It is harâm for
them to talk to their sisters-in-law or wives of their brothers as
well.
A man can never marry eighteen women who are mahram to
him. He can speak to them. They can be together, alone, where
there are no others. A woman cannot marry eighteen men. These
eighteen men and women are:
