Brief Explanation
Benefits: … From all these ahadith it is established that it is forbidden (haram) for a man to look at a non-mahram woman. The eye itself is the prelude to adultery (zina); whoever safeguards his gaze will, by the will of Allah Ta’ala (insha Allah Ta’ala), remain protected from all matters related to immorality.
