Lowering the gaze for a patient being treated in a hospital with women
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A young man has a heart condition and was admitted to the hospital. He then left, but he is still ill. However, his departure was due to the large number of women, and he is unable to lower his gaze. What is required of him?
Answer:
If he is ill, there is no harm in his enduring the treatment and striving to lower his gaze when seeing women who are bare or revealing. This is one of the excuses that allows him to struggle to lower his gaze and be treated in a hospital that has women in it if the need calls for it, and there is no blame on him. But he must strive to lower his gaze from the prohibitions of Allah.
