Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Every limb of a person is a trust with him, and he will be questioned about it on the Day of Judgment. Looking at images that arouse lust is forbidden, whether they are on television or in magazines, for it is a precursor to adultery and a cause of immorality. Looking at these images cannot deter one from adultery; rather, it is one of its causes.
