Question
A radio mufti once said over the air that it is permissible to fantasize about women. He sees nothing wrong with such lustful imagination. What is the Shariah's viewpoint?
Answer
Fantasizing about women is described as zina of the mind and heart. It darkens the heart and ruins the good effect of ibaadat. One becomes guilty of the sin of zina by such haraam fantasizing. A Muslim should keep his mind and heart pure. Never should the mind and heart be corrupted with moral filth. Radio 'muftis' have to find justification for their daily philandering in their co-sex studios. They are first in the row of ulama-e-soo'.
