If one is taking Ghusl in a place of concealment (where none can see him),
then it is not necessary to cover oneself. However, it is preferable and
more in conformity to the dictates of Hayaa (modesty) to cover one's private
parts even while taking Ghusl (bath). (Fataawa Mahmoodiyah vol.4 pg.387;
Mazhari)
