What is the ruling regarding a single woman who allows a strange man to see her body naked and to kiss her without intercourse, and she sees his private parts; and how can she expiate her sin and return to Allah?
The woman who has committed such reprehensible acts must repent to Allah with sincere repentance, and beware of everything that leads to temptation. She should adhere to modesty, good manners, concealment, and the hijab. She ought to be keen on beneficial knowledge, righteous deeds, and the company of good women, so that she may be granted steadfastness upon the truth and perseverance therein. Furthermore, laxity in interaction between men and women leads to such acts, and the sacred texts have emphasized the prohibition of private seclusion with women and entering upon them.
