What is the ruling on watching a video of an unveiled woman, dressed in modest clothing, teaching cooking or something similar, knowing that watching these videos may increase their spread and reach to men?
A woman is permitted to watch a video of another woman teaching permissible matters (such as cooking and makeup) if the video is free of শরী‘আ-prohibited elements, even if the teacher is not wearing a hijab. This is not forbidden by the possibility of the video reaching men simply because some women watch it, as this possibility is remote, indirect, and not intended by the
viewer.
