The Ruling on Reading Immoral Magazines
Question :
What is ruling on reading magazines that show women who are not dressed properly, and what is the ruling on looking at these pictures?
Answer:
We advise every Muslim to avoid temptations and its causes, in order to guard his religion, which is his protection against sin. There is no doubt that viewing pictures of scantily-clad, beautiful women is one of the strongest incentives to commit adultery and temptations to commit evil deeds. This is because it evokes feelings of desire and prompts one to try to contact them or others like them, and to expend all one's efforts in trying to attain this, due to the intensity of desire. So it is most befitting for the Muslim to advise himself to protect and preserve himself from all that may impair his good conduct.
