Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, I want advice from you on how to avoid the trial of women, and how a young Muslim can protect himself from this trial regarding these women?
Answer:
He should stay away from them, not sit with them, and not mix with them. He should beware of mixing with women in offices, in markets, or even in mosques. For this reason, women were commanded to be behind the men and to keep away from them. So he should avoid mixing with women, coming into contact with them, and looking at them. Looking at them, especially if they are unveiled, clothed yet naked, for the trial is more severe with them.[An-Nur 24:30] He should not speak to them in a way that involves teasing or flirting; he should stay away from that. Yes.

Tell the believing men to reduce [some] of their vision and guard their private parts. That is purer for them. Indeed, Allah is Acquainted with what they do.
قُل لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَغُضُّوا مِنْ أَبْصَارِهِمْ وَيَحْفَظُوا فُرُوجَهُمْ ذَٰلِكَ أَزْكَىٰ لَهُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ خَبِيرٌ بِمَا يَصْنَعُونَ
