Chapter Eleven: <strong>The</strong> Devil's <strong>Deception</strong> ef the $iifis<br />

what they regard as beautiful.<br />

Abu 'Abdu'l-Ral_iman al-SulamI said in his book "Sunan al-.'ftiftyya":<br />

"Chapter on all that they consider permissible." He mentioned dancing<br />

(al-raqf), singing (al-ghinri) and gazing at handsome faces. In this<br />

chapter, he records the tradition that the Prophet (:i) said: "Seek<br />

good among the fair of countenance."<br />

And the l_iadith: "Three things brighten the eyes: Looking at greenery,<br />

that Abu'l-BakhtarI was a unscrupulous liar. Al_imad <strong>Ibn</strong> 'Umar <strong>Ibn</strong><br />

at a face regarded as fair, he should have interpreted it a looking at<br />

the face of one's wife and slave girl, whereas to leave it unqualified<br />

Our Shaikh the I:Iafi? Mul_iammad <strong>Ibn</strong> Nair states that <strong>Ibn</strong> Tahir<br />

al-MaqdisI authored a book proving the permissibility of looking at<br />

beardless men.<br />

Scholars say that it is not allowed to looking at beardless men <strong>by</strong><br />

someone who gets sexually excited when doing so. And whoever<br />

claims that he does not get sexually excited <strong>by</strong> looking at beardless<br />

boys is a liar. such looking is in general allowed only because prohibition<br />

would involve difficulty where association with such boys is<br />
