Upon Which The Eye Should Be Closed

It should be closed to looking at fine countenances lustfully. But if someone with a pure heart does so, admiring them as wonders of God’s creation, it is not wrong.


If you should gaze in purity upon a rosy cheek,
It is not prohibited to gaze upon the rose and the tulip;
But if the eye gazing upon it is not pure,
The kohl around such an eye is naught but dust
