Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Is it permissible to call the one who looks at non-mahram women with desire or watches pornographic films a fornicator, taking this from the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)?
Answer:
Yes, indeed, it is zina (fornication), meaning, but it is not zina of the private parts. Zina has types: zina of the private parts, zina of the gaze, and zina of touching. Zina has types. Yes.
