Condemning the woman who displays her adornment
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: If I see a woman who is displaying her adornment and causing fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) for others, is it sufficient for me to condemn her by offering words of advice in front of her or near her, or does the matter require me to repeat this to her and warn her of Allah so that she covers herself properly? And is the one who calls to good accountable for the second glance?
The Shaykh:
That he calls.
The questioner:
He calls, meaning it is held against him.
The Shaykh:
If you see her, exert your effort, for this is what is wrong. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 49a You can use your tongue to remind her, admonish her, and repeat it to her. Good, this is acting in accordance with his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): Sunan an-Nasa'i 5008Sahih (Darussalam). And if you see defiance from her and this repeats from her, you can refer the matter to the authority, and they will look at the situation so that she does not cause fitnah for the people; they will prevent her from this thing, the men of the Hisbah (public order). Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you

He who amongst you sees something abominable should modify it with the help of his hand; and if he has not strength enough to do it, then he should do it with his tongue, and if he has not strength enough to do it, (even) then he should (abhor it) from his heart
