One must fear Allah, lower one's gaze, and avert one's sight, as Allah Almighty says: "Tell the believing men to reduce [some] of their vision and guard their private parts. That is purer for them. Indeed, Allah is Acquainted with what they do." And as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The son of Adam's share of adultery has been written upon him, which he will inevitably attain. The adultery of the eyes is looking…" And his saying: "O Ali, do not follow one glance with another, for the first is yours, but the last is not."
