Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Is it permissible for a woman to look at non-mahram men, such as following, for example, matches or other such matters?
Answer:
What benefit does she have from matches? She has no benefit from them. As for her looking at a man without desire, there is nothing wrong with it. She may look at a man, speak to him, take from him, and give to him, but without desire. Yes.
