What is the ruling on a young man doing things that are originally permissible, but he does them with the intention of attracting the attention of girls and women to himself?
It is not permissible for a young man to do permissible things if his intention is to reach something forbidden, such as tempting women. He incurs sin by doing so. Moderation should be observed in enjoying pleasures and luxury, and extravagance should be avoided. Furthermore, chewing gum and unbuttoning a shirt may be considered breaches of decorum, depending on people's customs and traditions. A Muslim must follow the path of uprightness and not waste time.
