Is it permissible for a Muslim to pray for his own death if he fears that he might cause temptation for Muslim women due to his strong personality and eloquent speech at work?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is not permissible to wish for death except for a legitimate Shar'i reason. The fear of women being tempted by a Muslim does not justify it. What is obligatory is to avoid mixing with women as much as possible, and for a Muslim not to be the cause of women's temptation. If a woman is tempted by him without his causing it, then there is no sin upon him.
