Hurmat-e-musaaharah being established by looking at the private part of a woman

· 17 Muharram 1442 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Does looking at the private parts of a woman also establish hurmat-e-musaaharah even if one does not touch the other person?

Answer

If one had seen the inner portion of a woman's private part with lust, hurmat-e-musaaharah will be established even though he did not touch her body.

The sign of lust being found in a male is that he has an erection or experiences movement in his private part.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
