Hadith on Modesty: Women prohibited from nudity in bathhouses

Abu al-Malih reported: Women from Hims or Syria entered the dwelling of Aisha, and she said, “Are you those women who enter the bathhouses? I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say: No woman puts down her clothes in a place other than her husband’s home but that the barrier between her sin and her Lord will be torn to shreds.
