Question:
And what is the ruling on looking at a woman without desire, such as looking at a woman on television to hear the news?
Answer:
Is it permissible to look at a woman? If it is with desire, it is forbidden. And if it is without desire and she is uncovered, this is also a sin, because she is sinning by appearing uncovered on television. If you look at her, you are approving her in this matter. Do not look at her.
