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?
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.
