Sister bathing her baaligh brother who underwent surgery

Q: Is it possible for a sister who is married to bath her brother because he underwent a surgery.

A: A sister should not bath her baaligh brother as this will amount to her looking at his satr area, and for her to look at his satr area is not permissible. The males of the family should assist in this regard. If this is difficult, a male attendant should be employed for this purpose.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
