Looking at foreign women is forbidden and leads to great evils. Your statement, "If I look at women, I must give five dinars in charity," is an oath of obstinacy (Nathr Lajaj). If you violate what you have vowed, then you owe a single expiation for an oath (kaffarat ) according to most scholars, even if the action is repeated.
