What is the ruling on a man who is impotent or sexually incapacitated looking at naked women—whether they are human, animated, or humanoid in games?
Sexual impotence is of two types: The first is a weakness that does not remove the individual's inclination towards women, and he must lower his gaze because lust might be aroused, and there is no evidence that exempts him; rather, anything that causes fitnah (temptation/strife) is forbidden. The second is complete and permanent impotence with no inclination towards women whatsoever. For such a person, it is permissible to look at what is ordinarily apparent of a woman, based on the Almighty's saying: "Or those male attendants having no sexual desire." As for watching programs or animated cartoons that contain裸露 scenes, it is prohibited, not for fear of fitnah, but to shun the people of sin and their actions.
