Young men and women must lower their gaze. If their gaze falls unintentionally, they must immediately avert it. It is not permissible to intentionally look and smile, as this is a gateway to temptation and corruption. It is forbidden for a woman to uncover her face or smile at a non- man, due to the evil consequences this leads to.
