Somebody asked a saint رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه upon seeing him in a dream, ‘مَا فَعَلَ الـلّٰـہُ بِکَ’ ‘How did Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ treat you?’ He said, ‘I was presented in the court of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and the counting of my sins was commenced. I kept confessing and sins were being granted pardon. Then I got silent regarding a sin out of shame and in no time, the skin and flesh of my face all fell off.’ The person who saw the dream asked, ‘Which sin was that?’ He said, ‘Ah! Once, I glanced at an Amrad lustfully.’ (Kimiyā-e-Sa’ādat, pp. 1006, vol. 2)
Casting a lustful eye on clothes is also Ḥarām
O the Islamic brothers who have fear of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and love for the Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم! Shiver with fear! If the consequences of looking at an Amrad with lust are so horrific, how severe would the divine punishment of committing sodomy be!
It is written on page 442, volume 3 of the book ‘Baĥār-e-Sharī’at’ comprising of 1197 pages, published by Maktaba-tul-Madina, the publishing organ of Dawat-e-Islami, ‘When a boy is at the stage of adolescence and isn’t beautiful, then the same rulings are applicable as regards to looking at him which are applicable to looking at a man, but if he is attractive then the rulings which are applicable for looking at a woman will apply, that is, it is Ḥarām to cast eyes lustfully on such an adolescent; but if there is no lust then it is permissible to look at him and to be with him in solitude.
