Question:
What is the ruling on women looking at men secretly while the men do not see them?
Answer:
This is a matter on which there is scholarly disagreement. If she looks at a man with desire, it is forbidden. Allah the Exalted said:[An-Nur 24:31] Therefore, it is not permissible for her to look at a man with desire, because that is a path to falling into immorality. As for looking without desire, this is part of the area of disagreement. And whatever she lowers her gaze from regarding men is safer for her and more purifying for her. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
