Respect for Muslim women following hijab.

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by ShariahBoard.org

I have made tauba many years ago and am trying to live like a Muslim man. I try to do nazar ki hifazat and usually am successful even if there is naked western woman I try to look away. However My weakness is Burka, If I see some one in burka, I feel so attracted and want marry that woman even though I am married. why do I have such desire for ladies in Burka? what should I do?

It is natural to have desires and inclination for these things but it is bad to fulfill these desires inclinations. You yourself are saying that you do not follow through with these desires and you protect your gaze; that should be enough. About the other matter which you brought up, if you think that if Allah has decreed for you to get married with someone it will happen, but there is no need to disturb yourself and ruin your intentions in any way. What can be accomplished by this? Especially, those ladies and sisters who are covering themselves properly in this environment, you should respect them more. You should keep in mind that, if someone is trying to please Allah and follow HIS commands, then obviously, Allah loves them also; and if I have wrong or bad intentions about someone who is beloved to Allah, then Allah may be displeased with me. You should also think that these ladies are your religious sisters and mothers, and you should have more respect for them in your heart. If Allah decrees you to marry anyone then it will happen, but there is nothing wrong in keeping these thoughts in your hearts. This should be cured a little bit but otherwise there is nothing wrong with that.
