I am a married man, but I often go and see other girls. How far can i take it, before it becomes a sin?
Question
Can you please explain to me in detail on these matters, especially what the punishment is for this?
Answer
It is Haraam for a male to associate with Ghayr Mahram (not prohibited in marriage) females. It is a major sin and also classified as Zina.
Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, 'The eyes commit Zina by seeing a Ghayr Mahram female, the hands commit Zina by touching her, the legs commit Zina by walking towards her.' The ultimate punishment is fire is hell.
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
