00:00:02 --> 00:00:05
			What is the ruining of women
looking at men I really learnt a
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:08
			lot from Islamic videos on YouTube
and I've also taken a few of your
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:11
			courses however I was told I would
be sinful if looking at the
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:13
			speaker I find it very hard to
concentrate by just listening to
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:17
			the audio. The Prophet sallallahu
Arias I'm allowed are a shot of
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:22
			the Allah who aren't hard to stand
next to him with her chin and her
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:27
			head next to his with her chin on
his shoulder. And to watch these
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:32
			Abyssinians performing a
particular kind of dance or, or
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:36
			Jihad preparation or whatever it
was a particular kind of a show
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38
			that they were putting on in the
great in the courtyard of the
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:42
			Masjid. So that proves that it's
allowed for women to look at men.
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:46
			However, there are some boundaries
in this once you start being
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:51
			attracted to a person sexually
speaking, not attracted by loving
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:56
			them for the sake of deen or by if
you get attracted to the how the
		
00:00:56 --> 00:01:00
			beautiful they are, right and that
it has happened with people.
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:04
			There was one sister was sitting
at a program and a certain speaker
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:08
			was being video broadcasted into
the sisters area, number of other
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:12
			speakers had spoken before him
when he came on, is a very
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:17
			handsome mashallah, right? When he
came on, this sister told this
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:20
			other woman who is sitting behind
the system talking about so can
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:23
			you please move I can't see him
right until now he was fine. She
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:26
			was in the back or whatever. But
now when this particular speaker
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:30
			came up, she told this sister to
move up that can I can't see him.
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:32
			So it depends on why you're
looking at the person if it's
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:34
			because of concentration,
absolutely. There's nothing wrong
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:39
			with that is halal to do that the
it becomes wrong and haram for you
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:42
			to look when you become sexually
attracted. When you think oh, you
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:46
			have the fear of becoming like
that, then you minimize it and or
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:50
			don't look or make it really small
or something of that nature. You
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:53
			have to avoid that fitness. So
fitness in everything. Right? It
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:58
			becomes a fitna for a person to be
with his, you know with his sister
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:01
			in the same room. If there's a
fitna or with his aunt, for
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:04
			example, young and otherwise
there's no fitna, otherwise it's
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:07
			halal. So by default, it's halal.
That's why men have not been told
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:10
			to when they come for example, in
any, you know, in any in any way
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:14
			in any opinion, and why women have
to, you know, have to cover
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:18
			themselves or put niqab on if
there's a fitna according to the
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:21
			orlimar Well, you know, because
the it works in different ways
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:24
			for, you know, between between the
agendas.
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:28
			So, yes, absolutely. It's
permissible unless there's a
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:40
			problem bla
