Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: What is the ruling on looking at non-mahram women if it is an incidental glance, as happens, he says, in a news broadcast?
Answer:
If one intends to look and takes pleasure in it, then it is forbidden. But if his glance falls upon them without him intending this or taking pleasure in it, then there is nothing wrong with it.
