I am a married man, but i often go and see other girls. How far can i take it, before it becomes a sin? Jazak Allah Khaire

Question

Can you please explain to me in detail on these matters, especaillay what the punishment is for this?

Answer

The sin of seeing other girls starts from your intention even before you actually go and see them. As Nabi (saw) said " Your action is judged upon your intention ". Then the sin becomes greater when the person casts a lustful look at a girl as stated by Nabi (saw) " The eyes also commit zina, and their zina is the lustful look".A poet in the time of jahilliyah said all affairs begin with sight,the raging fire a spark can ignite. %0D%0A%0D%0AThe person continues in this vein of sin which is Khulwah . Khulwah means where a man and a woman who are not married are together alone without the fear of intrusion. Our Rasool (saw) stated " Whoever believes in Allah and last day must never be in privacy with a woman without there being a Mahram (of hers) with her, for otherwise shaitaan will be the third person (with them).%0D%0A%0D%0AAllah has commanded both man and woman to lower their gaze " Tell the believing men that they should lower their gaze and guard their sexual organs .... and tell the beleiving woman that they should lower their gaze and guard their sexual organs"....%0D%0A%0D%0AFrom the above we see that getting involved with girls is a great sin and you are not commting one sin but you are commiting many sins. And some of the punishments are , On the day of Qiyamah Allah will not look at such a person also the entering into the fire of Jahanam.%0D%0A%0D%0Aand Allah Ta'ala Knows Best%0D%0A%0D%0AMufti Ebrahim Desai%0D%0A
