Question:
Some women say that they cast their gaze at men on the grounds that it is permissible for a woman to look at men, because the occurrence of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) comes from the side of the men, not from the side of the women.
Answer:
Allah (Mighty and Majestic) says:[An-Nur 24:31] Just as it is forbidden for men to look with desire, it is forbidden for women to look with desire, and Allah commanded both males and females to lower their gaze. Yes.

وَقُل لِّلْمُؤْمِنَاتِ يَغْضُضْنَ مِنْ أَبْصَارِهِنَّ وَيَحْفَظْنَ فُرُوجَهُنَّ
