A man looking at a woman without desire
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: I understood from the lesson that a woman may look at a man, but without desire. Does a man also have the right to look at a woman without desire?
Answer:
He does not look at her points of attraction, even if it is without desire. He does not look at her points of attraction; rather, he looks at her body as she walks, and there is no harm in that. Yes.
