Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Also, some women say that while they are in the tawaf or the sa'y, they may let their gazes wander toward the men. What is the ruling on that?
Answer:
A woman looking at men with desire is forbidden in tawaf and in other situations. Allah the Exalted said:[An-Nur 24:31] A woman is commanded to lower her gaze from men in tawaf and in other situations, but it is more severe in tawaf because she is in an act of worship. One who is in an act of worship does not commit a sin, because the sin is multiplied for him, especially if the worship is in the Haram during tawaf, in which case the sin is more severe. Yes.

وَقُل لِّلْمُؤْمِنَاتِ يَغْضُضْنَ مِنْ أَبْصَارِهِنَّ وَيَحْفَظْنَ فُرُوجَهُنَّ
