This question relates to the ayah:
> And those who harm believing men and believing women for [something] other than what they have earned have certainly born upon themselves a slander and manifest sin.
> Qur'an 33:58
Tafsir indicate this was revealed with the next ayah (*...bring down over themselves [part] of their outer garments...* Qur'an 33:59 ) in the context about harassing uncovered women who were going to the bathroom at night. However, the "harm" in Qur'an 33:58 suggests it applies more generally (e.g., it applies to men too).
