The Ruling on a Student of Knowledge Looking at Daily Newspapers

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is it permissible for a student of knowledge to look at daily newspapers with the intention of knowing the news, even though his eyes may fall upon images of women without his intending it?

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that if his intention is to read the news and articles written in them, and he has no intention regarding the images; there is no harm in that.
