(The two hands commit zina, and their zina is touching, and the two eyes commit zina, and their zina is looking); is looking from the major sins?

The Shaykh : ... The zina of the private parts is not forced upon everyone; because this is from the forbidden things and from the major sins. Likewise, there are many hadiths that also indicate that these means, such as looking, listening, touching, and the like, are not from the major sins. In this regard, there is the hadith of that man who set out to pray, so he looked at a woman on the road and his head hit a wall while he was looking at her. Then he mentioned to the Messenger (peace be upon him) after the prayer what he had done, so he said: . He said: Yes. So Allah (Mighty and Majestic) revealed: , and other texts that I do not recall now. So looking and the like are from the minor sins and not from the major sins. As for persisting in a minor sin making it a major sin, this is a matter that is said and cited in some texts and hadiths, but there is no authentic hadith that we can make an argument for this claim. Therefore, we do not say that persisting in a minor sin causes that minor sin to become a major sin because of it; we cannot say this. But from the psychological aspect; from the psychological aspect, it is possible that persisting in a minor sin leads to a major sin. This is from the category of linking means to ends; this is possible to lead to a major sin. As for a person who continued his whole life looking and listening and so on, but he strived against his self and prevented it from falling into the greater crime, so he dies while committing a major sin—this is what has no text, as we said. And Allah knows best.
