Women watching men on TV with no desire
Question: 5395
Answer
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
The Muslim has to protect his senses and faculties from everything that is of no benefit to him, let alone whatever is haraam. Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“Verily, the hearing, and the sight, and the heart, of each of those you will be questioned (by Allah).” [al-Israa’ 17:36]
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Looking is one of the arrows of Shaytaan.” Television is full of men and women who are promiscuous and immoral, and usually is not free from music and all other kinds of haraam things, so in general it is not good to look at it. May Allah help us.
As regards women looking at what normally appears of men for a specific reason and without any kind of desire, this is permissible as a number of scholars have said. But looking at the TV does not come under this heading, because there is no need for it, so women should turn away from everything in which there is no benefit, and keep themselves busy with things that will bring good consequences. And Allah is the source of strength.
