The Ruling on a Woman Looking at Men on Television

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: I have a television in the house, and I watch the shaykhs' lectures on it with my wife every day. The question is: What is the ruling on my wife looking at the shaykhs?

Answer:
Even if it were not on television, it is not permissible for her to look at men with desire; even without television, if it were in the street, she should not look at them with desire. As for a mere look without desire and out of necessity, there is no harm in that. Yes.
