The Ruling on Looking at Pictures of Women in Magazines
Question :
What is the ruling on looking at pictures of women in newspapers and magazines and other such things?
Answer:
It is not allowed for a Muslim to look at the faces of women, nor to any other part of their 'Awrah, whether in magazines or anything else. This is because of the temptation (Fitnah) which that causes. Rather, he is obliged to avert his gaze from it, in accordance with the generality of the legal evidences which forbid that, and because of the fear of temptation, just as he (should) avert his gaze in the streets and other places. And Allah is the Granter of success.
