Is a man considered a temptation for women, especially if he is extremely handsome, and what should he do in this case, or is the temptation of men by women not like the reverse?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Men are a temptation for women, and women are a temptation for men. Allah has commanded both genders to lower their gaze. However, a man's temptation by a woman is stronger than her temptation by him, because women's inclination towards men is naturally weaker. If a man is very handsome, he must fear Allah and adhere to the limits and controls of Islamic law in dealing with women. He is not required to veil himself like a woman.
