Some of my Shia friends accuse Aisha (RA) of indecency by quoting the following hadith.
> Sahih Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 5, Number 251: Narrated Abu Salmah:
>
> Aisha’s brother and I went to Aisha and he asked her about the bath of
> the Prophet. She brought a pot containing about a Sa’ of water and
> took a bath and poured it over her head and at that time there was a
> screen between her and us.
Even though it seems that the men in question here are Mehram to Aisha. However the fact of her taking a bath in front of them still raises some eye brows.
The hadith in question seems sahih. If it really is a sahih hadith then I have the following question.
**Question**: Did Aisha (RA) do anything wrong by taking a bath behind a screen in the presence of two men?
