<strong>Rafiq</strong>-<strong>ul</strong>-<strong>Haramayn</strong> 109<br />

one who is incapable is exempted. (ibid, pp. 1128) If staying under<br />

an umbrella, men sho<strong>ul</strong>d take the precaution that it sho<strong>ul</strong>d<br />

not touch their heads otherwise this may res<strong>ul</strong>t in expiation<br />

being due.<br />

Emphatic advice of Imām Aḥmad Razā Khān<br />

ه م ‏َةُ‏ ا‏ّٰ‏<br />

Unlawf<strong>ul</strong> gazing is always Ḥarām whether one is in Iḥrām or in<br />

Mawqif or in Masjid-<strong>ul</strong>-Ḥarām or in front of the Holy Ka’baĥ or is<br />

even doing the Ṭawāf of the Ka’baĥ. This is an occasion of your trial.<br />

The women have been ordered not to veil their faces and you have<br />

been commanded not to look at them.<br />

Remember that these (women) are the servants of the Most<br />

Honourable King in Whose holy court, you and they, are all present<br />

at the moment. Without any comparison, when the cub of a lion is<br />

in his lap, who can dare to cast an evil look at it. These ‘femaleservants’<br />

of Allah , the Omnipotent, are also present in His<br />

special court. How dreadf<strong>ul</strong> it wo<strong>ul</strong>d be to gaze at them.<br />

And the glory of Allah is Loftiest<br />

[Kanz-<strong>ul</strong>-Īmān (Translation of Quran)] (Part 14, Sūraĥ An-Naḥl, verse 60)<br />

Be caref<strong>ul</strong>! Protect your faith. Protect your heart and eyes. The sacred<br />

Ḥaram is a place where even the intention of committing a sin is<br />

recorded as a sin and the punishment of committing a single sin is<br />

equal to a hundred thousand sins. May Allah guide us towards<br />

good. (Fatāwā Razawiyyaĥ referenced, vol. 10, pp. 750)<br />
