Ruling on looking at adorned women deliberately and otherwise

 

What is the ruling on looking at adorned women deliberately and otherwise?.

Praise be to Allaah.

Looking deliberately is not permitted, because Allaah says
(interpretation of the meaning): 

“Tell the believing men to lower their gaze (from looking
at forbidden things), and protect their private parts (from illegal sexual
acts). That is purer for them”

[al-Noor 24:30]. 

Allaah has made the eye the mirror of the heart. If a person
lowers his gaze, then his heart controls his desire and will, but if he lets
his gaze wander freely, then his heart will give free rein to his desire. In
al-Saheeh it is narrated that on the Day of Sacrifice, al-Fadl ibn
‘Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him) set off from Muzdalifah to Mina,
and some women passed by and al-Fadl started looking at them. The Messenger
of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) turned his face
to the other side. Ibn al-Qayyim said in Rawdat al-Muhibbeen: This
shows that it is forbidden to look at non-mahram women and is a denunciation
in practical terms. If looking were permissible, he would have approved of
it. In al-Saheeh it is narrated that [the Prophet] (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Allaah has decreed for the son of
Adam his share of zina which will inevitably come to him. The eye commits
zina and its zina is looking. The tongue commits zina and its zina is
speaking. The foot commits zina and its zina is walking. The hand commits
zina and its zina is touching. The heart longs and wishes, and the private
part confirms that or denies it.” He started with the zina of the eye
because it is the basis of the zina of the hand, foot, heart and private
part. And the zina of the mouth by kissing is implied by the reference to
the zina of the mouth by speaking. And he described the private part as
confirming that if the action is fulfilled, or denying it if it is not. He
said: This hadeeth is one of the clearest signs that the eye can sin by
looking, and that this is its zina. This is a refutation of those who permit
letting the gaze wander freely. End quote. 

As for looking unintentionally, one will not be punished for
that if the heart did not intend it, but if he follows it with another look,
then he is sinning. Muslim, Abu Dawood, al-Tirmidhi and al-Nasaa’i narrated
that Jareer (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: I asked the Messenger of
Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) about an accidental
look and he commanded me to avert my gaze. Al-Tirmidhi said: This is a
saheeh hasan hadeeth. Ahmad, Abu Dawood and al-Tirmidhi narrated from
Buraydah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that he said: The Messenger of
Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said to ‘Ali: “O
‘Ali, do not follow one look with another, for you are allowed the former
but you are not allowed the latter.” Al-Tirmidhi said: Hasan ghareeb. These
two hadeeth indicate that if a person averts his gaze immediately, then
there is no sin on him, but if he persists in looking then he is sinning. In
Bab Nazr al-Faja’ah wa ma kuriha min al-Nazr in Kitaab al-Wara’
by Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal, there is a report from Abu Bakr Ahmad ibn Muhammad
al-Marwadhi which says: I said to Abu ‘Abd-Allaah (i.e., Imam Ahmad): A man
has repented and says: Even if my back were struck with a whip I would not
sin, but he could not stop looking. He said: What repentance is this? Jareer
said: I asked the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be
upon him) about an accidental look and he commanded me to avert my gaze. End quote.

Read quran its is the Word of Allah the sign of guidance

Reading quran and exploring it is the true duty of a Muslim because it contains Allah’s message to all people and the quran teaching tells the people that how to act correctly. By learning quran you will find that it guides us to a correct way of life in this world. We as a practicing Muslim should teach our kids quran and let the kids learn quran recitation and do quran memorization and we also do quran memorization by heart and there is an other importing thing that learn quran with tajweed because the tajweed rules are very important regarding the pronunciation and way or read the holy quran and further more enhancing the quranic studies by learning quran tafseer and reading quran the translation with it listening to quran online with the quran recitation don by some of the top reciter also. It is the Book of Allah also talks about life after death. It tells us that Allah has prepared Paradise for good people and Hell for bad people. Wile reading Quran we see that it encourages the worship of only one God Who creates and provides for them. The Book forbids people from evil and condemns those who do wrong. It contains stories of the past Prophets and the examples of bad and good people. Find online quran courses
