Question
Is there a prohibition for women to look at immodestly dressed women? What are the boundaries of this? To what extent is it permissible, both in dress and in action?
Answer
Shalom Rav,
There is no prohibition for a woman to look at an immodestly dressed woman, but it is inappropriate and damages the soul, accustoming the viewer to forbidden things.
A woman is forbidden to contemplate forbidden matters, and therefore any sight that causes her to think about sin is prohibited. This applies to both seeing an uncovered area and witnessing a forbidden act.
