The ruling on looking at a woman without desire

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And regarding the ruling of Islam, or the ruling of the Shari'ah, in your looking at a woman without desire, with the intention of ordinary looking?

Answer:
He does not look at her. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said:
Tell the believing men to reduce [some] of their vision and guard their private partsقُل لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَغُضُّوا مِنْ أَبْصَارِهِمْ وَيَحْفَظُوا فُرُوجَهُمْ
[An-Nur 24:30]
except if this looking is for a need, such as one who deals with her or asks her, and not for desire, then it is permissible to the extent of the need. Yes.
