The Ruling on a Woman Looking at a Man

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Your Eminence, father, the questioner asks: What is the ruling on a woman looking at men on television in beneficial programs such as sermons and fatwas?

Answer:
If a woman looks at a man with desire, it is forbidden.
And tell the believing women to reduce [some] of their vision and guard their private partsوَقُل لِّلْمُؤْمِنَاتِ يَغْضُضْنَ مِنْ أَبْصَارِهِنَّ وَيَحْفَظْنَ فُرُوجَهُنَّ
[An-Nur 24:31]
But if she looks at him without desire, only out of necessity, then there is nothing wrong with it.
