Accidentally seeing somebody naked

Question

I accidentally saw somebody in my family naked. Is it a major sin?

Answer

If it was done accidently, then you will not be answerable and nor is it a sin. However, if you have a slight doubt, or there was some negligence on your part, then you should make taubah and in future exercise more caution.

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