Riyad as-Salihin 1627 (Book 17, Hadith 117) #38116
Forbidden Gaze and Covers

SUMMARY: It is forbidden for people of the opposite sex to look at each other's private parts, and it is also forbidden for two people of the same sex to lie naked under one cover.

Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah said, "A man must not look at a man's private parts nor must a woman look at a woman's private parts; neither should two men lie naked under one cover, nor should two women lie naked under the same cover". Muslim.
وعن أبي سعيد رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله قال‏:‏ ‏ "‏لا ينظر الرجل إلى عورة الرجل، ولا المرأة إلى عورة المرأة، ولا يفضي الرجل إلى الرجل في ثوب واحد، ولا تفضي المرأة إلى المرأة في ثوب واحد‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه مسلم‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏
