Kindly explain the Shari’ah ruling of fantasising about a non-Mahram (prohibited in marriage) woman?
Answer
To fantasise about a non-Mahram woman is Haraam and tantamount to committing Zina with the heart and mind. Allamah Shaami states, ?just as it is Haraam to look at that which is not permissible, it is also Haraam to fantasise over that.? (Raddul Mukhtaar vol.5 pg.263; Rashidiyya)

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
