The answer

It is narrated in al-Bukhari that Al- al-Basri said to Sa'id ibn Abi al-Hasan, when the latter mentioned that non-Arab women uncover their chests and heads: "Avert your gaze from them," citing the verse: "Say to the believing men that they cast down their gaze and guard their private parts." The two narrations from Al-Thawri and Al-Hasan al-Basri have not been judged as authentic or weak; scholars mention them in the context of discussing the Muslim woman's , the awrah (private parts) of a free woman and a slave woman, and the ruling on looking at a slave woman, all of which are ancient matters of disagreement.
