It is permissible for a man to look at his wife's picture with desire and to enjoy her body, based on the narrated by Bahz bin Hakim, from his father, from his grandfather, who said: "I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, regarding our awrahs, what can we expose and what must we conceal?' He replied: 'Guard your awrah except from your wife or what your right hand possesses.'" Narrated by Al-Tirmidhi.
