The answer

The act mentioned, when committed by a father or brother in front of his mahārim (unmarriageable kin) or others (excluding his wife), goes against murūʾah (chivalry/manliness) and noble character. It is incumbent upon anyone who wishes to do so to conceal himself from the eyes of onlookers, for modesty is a characteristic of Islam.
