Is it to rebuke the women in the markets, or does this lead to being tempted by them?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is it to rebuke the women in the markets if I see among them tabarruj (display of adornment) or exposure, or does this lead to being tempted by them, so I should leave it?

Answer:
Do not go, my brother, to the market. Do not go to the market that has women, exposure, and fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), unless you are one of the people of hisbah (market inspectors) to whom this matter is entrusted. As for you, do not go, for you will fall into sin. Do not go. This is entrusted to the people of hisbah, who must go and must enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong. Yes.
