I am a married man, but I often go and see other girls. How far can i take it, before it becomes a sin?

Fatwa 1104English
Marriage & DivorceMarriage (Nikah)

Question

Can you please explain to me in detail on these matters, especially what the punishment is for this?

Answer

It is Haraam for a male to associate with Ghayr Mahram (not prohibited in marriage) females. It is a major sin and also classified as Zina.

Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, 'The eyes commit Zina by seeing a Ghayr Mahram female, the hands commit Zina by touching her, the legs commit Zina by walking towards her.' The ultimate punishment is fire is hell.
