    Question: what is the punishment of seeing gair marham?jazakallahkhair

    Answer ID: 25159

    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    (Fatwa: 1372/1083/D=1431)

    The holy Quran asks the women to observe purdah:
    وَقُل لِّلْمُؤْمِنَاتِ يَغْضُضْنَ مِنْ أَبْصَارِهِنَّ [النور : 31]
    Hence it is not lawful for women to see non-mahram males. On entering the blind sahabi the holy Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم) asked his wives to observe purdah. Thus it too is a sin for the women.
