Sins of the Eyes

Among the sins of the eye are:

1. For men:
   1. To look at the faces and hands of marriageable women with desire
   2. To look at other parts of their bodies with or without desire
2. For women:
   1. To look between the navel and the knees of marriageable men with or without desire
   2. To look at other parts of their bodies with desire
3. For both genders
   1. To look at the unlawful nakedness ['awrat]
   2. To needlessly uncover one’s private parts when in private. However, the non-marriageable person [mahram] or the person of the same sex may see other than what is between the navel and the knee, if it is without desire
   3. To look down on a Muslim (with the eye of disdain)
   4. To look into someone else’s house without his permission or to look at something he has kept hidden

And Allah and His Messenger know best!
