Is the noble Hadith: “If one of you is captivated by a woman and she falls into his heart, let him go to his wife and have intercourse with her, for that will repel what is in his soul,” specific to men and not women? Does it imply that a man does not fall into a woman’s heart? And if a man falls into a woman’s heart, what should she do?
If a man sees a woman and is charmed by her, and his heart inclines towards her, it is commendable for him to go to his wife and have intercourse with her. This is because it will remove what is in his heart and calm his desire. This is because a woman approaches and departs in the image of a devil; meaning she incites temptation and evil. This ruling is directed at men due to their inherent strong inclination towards women. However, there is no harm for a woman, if a man falls into her heart, to ask her husband to have intercourse with her to curb her desire.
