What is the ruling on disliking girls because of their immodest dress and their leaving the house, knowing that even veiled women have started doing what immodestly dressed women do?
Allah created humans, male and female, and instilled in them instincts and desires. They vary in character and rectitude; the righteous differ in their righteousness, and likewise the corrupt in their corruption. Corruption and bad morals stem from a person's susceptibility to society and their environment, coupled with an innate tendency towards transgression.
The righteous person's stance towards the disobedient should not be one of personal resentment and hatred that leads to generalization. Rather, it should be the stance of a guiding caller who detests the sin but shows mercy to its doer and views them with compassion, for there is good in them that may need someone to enlighten them about their flaws. Jesus son of Mary said: "Do not look at the sins of people as if you are lords, but look at your own sins. Indeed, people are but two types: one afflicted, and one healthy. So have mercy on the afflicted, and praise Allah for good health."
The generalization that immodestly dressed women are more numerous is an unsound principle, and the sin is not theirs alone, for they are the weakest link in society. Blame lies with those who adorned their выхода. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, warned against this path. On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, he said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "When a man says, 'People are ruined,' he is the most ruinous of them." Whether he ruined them with the accusative case (meaning he is the cause of their ruin through his despair) or with the nominative case (meaning he is the most ruined among them due to his self-admiration), both readings condemn generalization.
If the statement is made out of sorrow for the corruption one sees in people's religion, there is no harm in it. However, if it stems from self-admiration and belittling others, it is disliked. The duty, when grieving over sins, is to strive to remove their causes through advice, guidance, and striving for improvement, and to address the causes with wisdom: "Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good counsel, and argue with them in the best of ways."
