Looking at Women in the Different Kinds of Media

Question :

What is the ruling on men looking at the faces and bodies of women, such as actresses and singers seen on the television, cinema and video screens, or pictures on paper.

Answer:

Looking at them is forbidden because of the trial and temptation (Fitnah) it includes, and the Noble Verse from Surah An-Nur, which is Allah's Words:
"Tell the believing men to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and protect their private parts (from illegal sexual acts, etc.). That is purer for them. Verily, Allah is All-Aware of what they do.
This includes women in pictures and others, whether they are on paper, on the screen or anywhere else.
