He says that after the first exit from the state of ihram, he looked at a woman’s exposed private parts. Does he owe an expiation or not?

The questioner : He says that after the first exit from the state of ihram, he looked at his wife’s exposed private parts and ejaculated as a result. Does he owe an expiation or not?

The Shaykh : Did he repeat the look or not?

The questioner : If he repeated the look, he is sinful.

The Shaykh : Just one look.

The questioner : Yes, he says a look occurred from him, no, no.

The Shaykh : He did not repeat it.

The questioner : Oh, my.

The Shaykh : If the look was blameworthy, he is sinful, and according to the opinion of the jurists, he owes an expiation for harm, meaning feeding six poor people, one portion for each poor person, or slaughtering a sheep, or fasting for three days. But if it was just one look, though he began to think about it, he owes nothing.
