the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If a man is stabbed in the head with an iron needle, it is better for him than him touching a woman who is not ḥalāl (permissible) for him."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَأَنْ يُطْعَنَ فِي رَأْسِ رَجُلٍ بِمِخْيَطٍ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ أَنْ يَمَسَّ امْرَأَةً لَا تَحِلُّ لَهُ»
"If one of you is stabbed in the head with an iron needle, it is better for him than him touching a woman who is not ḥalāl (permissible) for him."
«لأنْ يُطْعَنَ فِي رأَسِ أحِدِكُمْ بِمِخْيَطٍ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ خيرٌ لهُ مِن أَنْ يَمَسَّ امْرأةً لَا تَحِلُّ لَهُ۔»
"If a man ˹is combed on the head with an iron comb that his skull bone is shown˺, it is better than him touching a woman who is a not permissible for him."
«لأَنْ يَكُونَ فِي رأَسِ رَجُل مُشْطٌ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ الْعَظْمَ خَيرٌ مِنْ أَنْ تمَسَّه امْرأَةٌ لَيسَتْ لَهُ بِمَحْرَم۔»
