Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The general rule regarding looking at the 'awrah (private parts) of animals is that it is permissible, unless it arouses the viewer's lust or causes them pleasure. In such a case, it is not permissible, out of fear that it might lead to a prohibited act or thought, as Allah Almighty says: ﴿O YOU WHO HAVE BELIEVED, DO NOT FOLLOW THE FOOTSTEPS OF SATAN. AND HE WHO FOLLOWS THE FOOTSTEPS OF SATAN - INDEED, HE ENJOINS IMMORALITY AND WRONG.﴾
