Is the Hadith: "When the End of Times approaches, my male Ummah will be forbidden from entering the hammam (public bath) with their waistcloths (ma'azir)." They said: "O Messenger of Allah, why is that?" He said: "Because they enter upon people who are naked. Indeed, Allah has cursed the one who looks and the one who is looked at," authentic, and what does it mean?

The Hadith in question is weak because it was only transmitted as mursal in Kanz al-Ummal, and a part of it was reported in Sunan al-Bayhaqi and Mushkil al-Masabih with weak chains of transmission (asanid da'ifah). Al-Albani judged it to be fabricated (mawdu‘) in Silsilat al-Ahadith ad-Da'ifah (1/476).
