Question

Does Hurmat Musaharat apply, when you feel lust by merely looking at someone? Or does it only take place by: 1) physical touching and 2) looking at the private parts with lust

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

The laws of hurmah al-musaharah are intricate. A general or brief explanation may lead to misunderstanding. If you have a specific query on it, you may forward that to us for our consideration.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
