Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: What is the rule regarding a woman looking at non-mahram men?

Answer:
If a woman looks at a man for the sake of desire, this is not permissible, as Allah said:
And tell the believing women to reduce [some] of their visionوَقُل لِّلْمُؤْمِنَاتِ يَغْضُضْنَ مِنْ أَبْصَارِهِنَّ
[An-Nur 24:31]
But if she looks out of necessity, without desire, there is nothing wrong with it for the sake of that necessity.
