The Ruling on Looking at Women in Magazines

Question :

Is it permissible for the Muslim to look at the pictures of women in magazines? Is the forbiddance the same regardless of whether he looked at her in person or looked at her in magazines? Advise us.

Answer:

There is no doubt that looking at unveiled women is one of the causes of temptation (Fitnah), and it calls to committing evil acts. This is why Allah commanded women to screen themselves in His Words:
"...and to draw their veils all over Juyubihinna (i.e., their bodies, faces, necks and bosoms, etc.)"

There is no doubt that looking at pictures of naked, or partially- clothed women is also a cause of spreading trial and temptation, and based upon this, it is forbidden to look at every picture which causes corruption or leads to it, whether in films, newspapers, magazines or other such things.
