The Ruling on Looking at a Woman’s Face Out of Necessity

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on looking at a woman’s face out of necessity? And how should I act if I am in the Haram, since women are uncovered everywhere?

Answer:
Do not look at them, do not look at them, lower your gaze. Allah the Exalted said:
Tell the believing men to reduce [some] of their visionقُل لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَغُضُّوا مِنْ أَبْصَارِهِمْ
[An-Nur 24:30]
So lower your gaze from the women, in the Haram and elsewhere. May Allah protect you. Because this is a trial. Yes.
