Looking - Woman at Man

Question

Is it forbidden for a woman to look at a man? Or in what ways is it permitted, etc.

Answer

Hello,

There is no prohibition for a woman to look at a man, but a woman is also prohibited from contemplating sin.

Therefore, it depends on the intention of the gaze, whether to see or for desire.
