Question:
Abu Sa'id from Abha says: We hope for an explanation of the saying of Allah the Exalted:[An-Nur 24:30].
Answer:
Yes, this is a command from Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, to the believers because they are people of obedience.[An-Nur 24:30] This means they should lower their eyes or turn them away from looking at what it is not permissible to look at. The eyes may cause harm to their owner, and a glance leads to evil. So the Muslim must lower his gaze from what Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, has forbidden, and not let his gaze wander to look at women or the seductive images displayed on screens. Rather, he should lower his gaze from them and not look at them. Yes.
Abu Sa'id from Abha says: We hope for an explanation of the saying of Allah the Exalted:
Tell the believing men to reduce [some] of their vision and guard their private parts. That is purer for them. Indeed, Allah is Acquainted with what they do.
قُل لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَغُضُّوا مِنْ أَبْصَارِهِمْ وَيَحْفَظُوا فُرُوجَهُمْ ذَٰلِكَ أَزْكَىٰ لَهُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ خَبِيرٌ بِمَا يَصْنَعُونَAnswer:
Yes, this is a command from Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, to the believers because they are people of obedience.
