What is the advice for women who jostle with men?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This one is also asking, saying: We seek advice for the women, because they jostle with the men, they jostle with the men.

Answer:
This is forbidden, jostling, except in cases of dire necessity, if it is unintentional and the path is narrow. Otherwise, if it is unintentional, one is not held accountable for it. However, one should avoid the crowd as much as possible. If it is not possible, then one is excused, but one must lower the gaze and be cautious of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation). If a crowd occurs without intention, there is no blame in that, because it is not by his choice. Yes. As for going to the crowd and intending to jostle, or the woman intending to jostle, this is not permissible, because it is a cause of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), and may Allah protect us from it.
