Abdur Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera – Q&A Can Women Look at Male Scholars on Video

What is the ruining of women looking at men I really learnt a

lot from Islamic videos on YouTube and I've also taken a few of your

courses however I was told I would be sinful if looking at the

speaker I find it very hard to concentrate by just listening to

the audio. The Prophet sallallahu Arias I'm allowed are a shot of

the Allah who aren't hard to stand next to him with her chin and her

head next to his with her chin on his shoulder. And to watch these

Abyssinians performing a particular kind of dance or, or

Jihad preparation or whatever it was a particular kind of a show

that they were putting on in the great in the courtyard of the

Masjid. So that proves that it's allowed for women to look at men.

However, there are some boundaries in this once you start being

attracted to a person sexually speaking, not attracted by loving

them for the sake of deen or by if you get attracted to the how the

beautiful they are, right and that it has happened with people.

There was one sister was sitting at a program and a certain speaker

was being video broadcasted into the sisters area, number of other

speakers had spoken before him when he came on, is a very

handsome mashallah, right? When he came on, this sister told this

other woman who is sitting behind the system talking about so can

you please move I can't see him right until now he was fine. She

was in the back or whatever. But now when this particular speaker

came up, she told this sister to move up that can I can't see him.

So it depends on why you're looking at the person if it's

because of concentration, absolutely. There's nothing wrong

with that is halal to do that the it becomes wrong and haram for you

to look when you become sexually attracted. When you think oh, you

have the fear of becoming like that, then you minimize it and or

don't look or make it really small or something of that nature. You

have to avoid that fitness. So fitness in everything. Right? It

becomes a fitna for a person to be with his, you know with his sister

in the same room. If there's a fitna or with his aunt, for

example, young and otherwise there's no fitna, otherwise it's

halal. So by default, it's halal. That's why men have not been told

to when they come for example, in any, you know, in any in any way

in any opinion, and why women have to, you know, have to cover

themselves or put niqab on if there's a fitna according to the

orlimar Well, you know, because the it works in different ways

for, you know, between between the agendas.

So, yes, absolutely. It's permissible unless there's a

problem bla
