Writing fictional stories is permissible if they are free from -prohibited elements, such as promoting evil or beautifying vice. Merely describing women's feelings or clothes without images does not necessarily beautify immodesty. Jurists have permitted the poetic description of the beauty of an unspecified woman, as long as it does not become obscene.
