A woman looking at men without desire

Question:
He says: May Allah reward you. My brother discussed with one of the religious brothers a matter that troubled us greatly. This brother says that it is permissible for a woman to look at men, but without desire. He stated that the scholars, both past and present, permit this, and the evidence is that the Mother of the Believers, Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), used to look at the Abyssinians while they were playing with their spears. Is this matter actually permissible? And is there any scholar who has permitted it?

Answer:
The scholars have permitted a woman to look at a man for two reasons: first, without desire, and second, out of necessity. She was in need of looking at him, and without desire, there is no harm. However, if she looks at him without necessity, that is a means to her being attracted to him. She should not look at him unless she needs to do so. Yes.
