Is a man sinful if he looks at the eyes of a niqabi woman in public places?

Looking at the eyes and eye sockets of a niqabi woman is forbidden if done with lust, and permissible if for a need such as buying and selling. However, if it is without lust and without need, it is also impermissible, especially if the woman is beautiful, due to the potential for fitnah (temptation).
