What is the ruling on a woman watching video lectures by sheikhs?
It is impermissible for a woman to look at non-mahram men with lust, by consensus, and this is forbidden for her. As for looking at them without lust, there is a difference of opinion on this matter, and the most preponderant view is that it is permissible, especially when there is a need, such as benefiting from video recordings of scholars. However, it is better for her to lower her gaze while benefiting and suffice with listening, in order to avoid doubtful situations.
