A Woman Looking at Immodest Women

Question

Is there an issue with a woman looking at immodest women?

Answer

Hello,

There is no prohibition for a woman to see immodesty, but she is forbidden to contemplate sin.

Additionally, looking at such things accustoms the soul to flaw and sin, making it legitimate.

Therefore, anyone who values her pure soul avoids intentionally looking at immodesty.
