The Ruling on Deliberately Looking at Women in the Haram


Question :

What is the ruling, if a man goes out to (Friday) prayer in the Sacred Mosque and he prays near the women's area and it happened that he looked at their faces many times?


Answer:

It has been reported that it is forbidden for men to be near to women in prayer, for the best row for men is the first and the worst for them is the last, that is, because it is near the women. The best row for women is the last and the worst is the first, which is because it is near the men. So it is forbidden for men to deliberately look at women in the mosque and it is incumbent upon the woman in the mosque to veil herself and enter a screened area, which men may not enter. That is if she chooses to pray in the mosque and she went out without beautifying herself but her home is better for her.
