The answer

Jurists and sound minds have agreed on the prohibition of incest and its preliminaries. A man is permitted to look at what is commonly uncovered of his unmarriageable kin (mahārim), such as the neck, head, hands, and feet, but it is forbidden to look with lust, and it is forbidden to look at what is usually covered, such as the chest and back.
