It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade that a woman should touch the body of another woman (without clothing), or that a man should touch the body of another man. Ibn Abi Layla says: I hold that this act deserves a discretionary punishment (ta'zir). Muhammad bin Abd al-Rahman bin Abi Layla belonged to one of the most eminent households of the Companions from the Ansar and was the mufti of his time in Kufah; since he held that there is ta'zir for it, there is a precedent to follow in it.
