The ruling on a teacher looking at a handsome student

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: I am a teacher in an elementary school, and we have hundreds of students who are young boys, some of whom may be handsome. So if I look at him while explaining, am I sinful for that and falling into what Ibn al-Qayyim mentioned?

Answer:
Yes, if you look at him with a look of desire, you are included in that. But if you look at him merely because you want him to pay attention and focus on the lesson, there is nothing wrong with that. Observing him is a look of observation, yes.
