Question:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Can a non-mahram man or woman look at the face or a picture of the person who has passed away? Because I\u2019ve heard it is Punishment (azab) for the dead person in the grave.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Answer:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There is divine wisdom behind the establishment of the Hijab between men and women in society. What seems like a simple question has been addressed meticulously by Islam. Dressing, speaking and behaviour with mahram (non-marriageable kin) and non-mahram (marriageable kin) are guided by the laws of Shariah. Thus, contact between men and women in public and private places is structured around adhering to the Islamic rulings of segregation. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Respectful boundaries are established to live by in society,<\/span> alongside adopting modest dressing and behaviour and lowering the gaze with respect to non-mahram. This ensures that we are not ruled by our desires but rather by Allah\u2019s laws.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If a woman looks at a man and her heart is overcome by lust, or that is the predominant thought, or she has doubts, then it is recommended that she lower her gaze from him. And if a man looks at a woman and his heart is overcome by lust, or that is the predominant thought, or he has doubts, then it is forbidden for him to look at her.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Based on this, we can deduce that the heart can be overcome by lust, whether it is due to looking at a non-mahram person alive or dead. The Shaytan works in deceptive ways to mislead people towards temptation and fitnah. As a precaution, it is best not to look at the photograph of a deceased non-mahram.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To elaborate, wearing the niqab was considered recommended, however, in our time, it has been deemed obligatory by many scholars. Women are required to cover their faces (and men are prohibited from looking at women\u2019s faces) due to the prevalent fitna\/temptation in society and the harm it causes.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sadd Al-Dhar\u0101i or \u201cblocking the means to evil\u201d is a principle in Shariah that serves as a preventative measure from doing haram. In those acts which are normally categorised as mubah (permissible), there is fear that they will lead to haram, then it becomes wajib to abstain from the mubah.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Exceptions are made in necessary situations, and if for example, the picture is of an elderly man or woman, then there <\/span>is some scope of flexibility in terms of looking due to the absence of desire (shahwah). <\/span>If desire and temptation enter the heart of the person looking at the picture, and the thought is not expelled and looking is not avoided, the action may lead to sin. <\/span> The deceased will not be held responsible for the actions of those alive.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thus, it is only permissible for a mahram male or female to view the face of a mahram female or male, face to face or in pictures. The prohibition of looking at a non-mahram male or female is applicable to both the living and the dead. The dead may no longer feel or desire anything, but the living continue to feel and desire. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Therefore, it will not be permissible for non-mahram males to look at the faces of non-mahram deceased women and vice versa. There is no requirement for it, rather what is required is to pray for the deceased and attend the funeral of the deceased as this will benefit them in sha Allah.<\/span><\/p>\n
