Is sinful?is a major sin?
Or is socialy not a best thing to do ?
Of course i’m not staring at her private parts,but i look at her generally?

Scholar June 18, 2026 at 1:41 amMajor sins are Shirk, adultery, and murder. Looking at someone, even with lust, is not a major sin, unless it leads to zina, although it is still a sin, but the categories should not be confused.
It is not appropriate to look at someone with love. However, decency must be maintained.

Of course even I understand that staring is not something appropriate,socialy even if your intention is good.
And Can i look at a women with which one am I in a relationship with or am I trying to get to know? Or look at a photo of her on social media and think how beautiful she is?
