Is it permissible for a man to look at a woman without desire?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I ask Allah to do you good. Your Eminence, father, the questioner says: If it is permissible for a woman to look at a man without desire, is it also permissible for a man to look at a woman without desire?

Answer:
No. If the woman is exposing her face or her adornments and is not wearing hijab, it is not permissible to look at her. Rather, it should be condemned in her. If he looks at her, it means he has approved of her being in that state and has not condemned her. He should order her to wear hijab.
