Eyes, the doorway that lead us to this world, they are open, you perceive the world, they are shut, so is the surrounding around you, no matter what the world goes through, it almost ceases to exist.What you perceive through them can result in two things, either success or astray. [Hereafter] The eye can sin by looking and that this is its zinaa. This is a refutation to those who say that looking is allowed in all circumstances.
The wisest, Almighty Allah (SWT) says, [interpretation of meaning]:
"Tell the believing men to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and protect their private parts (from illegal sexual acts). That is purer for them. Verily, Allah is All-Aware of what they do. And tell the believing women to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and protect their private parts (from illegal sexual acts)" [al-Noor 24:30-31].
In Saheeh Muslim (1218) it is reported that Al-Fadl ibn 'Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him) was riding behind the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) on the Day of Sacrifice (Yawm al-Nahr) from Muzdalifah to Mina, when some women riding on camel-borne sedan chairs passed by. The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) turned his [al-Fadl's] head away. This was prevention and denunciation through action, for if looking were permissible he would have approved of what he did.
A look has the same effect on the heart as an arrow has on its victim. If it does not kill him, it will wound him. It is like a spark of fire in dried grass ; if it does not burn all of it, it will still burn some of it.
May Almighty Allah have mercy on the one who said:
"Everything starts with a look, and big fires start from little sparks.
How often has a heart been dealt a fatal blow like that of an arrow, with no need for a blow.
As long as a man's eyes are looking into the eyes of others, he is in a state of danger.
His eye delights in that which could destroy his heart. The joy that may lead to harm is not welcome."
Muslim(2159) narrated that Jareer ibn ‘Abd-Allah (may Allah be pleased with him)said: I asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)about an accidental look and he commanded me to avert my gaze.
It was also reported that the Prophet [bpuh] said; "O 'Ali, do not follow a look with a second, for the first look is allowable but not the second,"
The Prophet (peace be upon him) never shook hands with an unrelated woman. Umaymah b. Raqiqah said: "I came to the Prophet (peace be upon him) with a group of the women of Madinah to swear fealty for Islam. The women informed Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) that they wished to swear fealty to him. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: 'I do not shake hands with women. The way I accept the pledge from one woman is the same as with one hundred women." [al-Muwatta', Sunan al-Tirmidhi, Sunan al-Nasa'i and Sunan Ibn Majah].
