Looking
at pictures of women...
*Please appropriately reference
this fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Question:
What is the ruling regarding looking at pictures of women
in newspapers, magazines and the like?
Response:
It is not for the Muslim to look at the faces of women and
nor anything of their 'awrah;
not in magazines and nor other than them for that which exists
therein causes fitnah.
Rather, it is obligatory upon him to divert his sight from
these (pictures) in accordance with the generality of the
Sharee'ah
evidences prohibiting this out of fear of (falling into) any
fitnah;
as one diverts his sight from the women on the street and
other places.
And
with Allaah lies all the success, and may Allaah send prayers
and salutations upon our Prophet Muhammad (sal-Allaahu
`alayhe wa sallam)
and his family and his companions.
