How is it permissible to display pictures of fashion models—women whose faces are blurred—in forums, given the possibility of men seeing them? And does blurring the face entirely remove the temptation? What is the benefit of commanding the wearing of the abaya if it is permissible for men to look at the body? Are not all parts of a woman’s body considered awrah (private parts) from which men must avert their gaze? What is the evidence for permissibility?

The fatwa regarding the women's forum prohibited publishing women's pictures on the internet, but permitted placing pictures of outfits with the head cut off or the facial features blurred, to avoid fitna (temptation/strife) and to block the means (to sin). A man must lower his gaze from a woman, and a woman's entire body is 'awrah (private, to be covered). The fatwa considered that the forum is for women and that this means might divert women from harmful magazines. It emphasizes preventing pictures of outfits that are provocative. A distinction must be made between the matter of the picture and the matter of fitna; thus, cutting off the head in the picture is stipulated, and fitna is repelled and its doors are closed if its occurrence is highly probable.
