Is it permissible for a 13-year-old adolescent girl to exchange glances with a boyfriend?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Exchanging glances with a beloved is among the most evident prohibitions, and it is a form of adultery of the eye. A woman's looking at a non- man is forbidden if there is fear of temptation or the presence of desire. A man's looking at a non-mahram woman is absolutely forbidden, except for a sudden glance or for a dire need. The forbidden gaze is the harbinger of adultery. Every forbidden glance leaves a black spot on the heart until rust covers the heart. Therefore, all ties with this person must be severed, and one must be wary of the temptation of looking, bearing in mind that Allah sees and records all deeds.
