If the firm measures established by Islamic Sharia to eradicate obscenity (fuhshi) from the world are summarized, they can be classified under the following headings in sequence:
(1) Mindset conditioning against obscenity through promises of reward and warnings of punishment in the Quran and Hadith.
(2) Restraining women from leaving the house unnecessarily.
(3) The commandment of Hijab (veil) for women.
(4) The commandment to lower the gaze for non-mahram (stranger) men and women.
(5) Prohibition of seclusion (Khalwah) between a non-mahram man and woman.
(6) Prohibition of traveling together for a non-mahram man and woman.
(7) Prohibition of soft and casual conversation between a non-mahram man and woman.
(8) Emphasis on adopting the lawful path and entering into marriage (Nikah).
(9) Prohibition of spreading and broadcasting obscenities.
(10) Severe punishments upon the proof of adultery/fornication (Zina).
The experience of the world shows that whenever and wherever the aforementioned system for protecting chastity and modesty was implemented, such beautiful scenes of purity, righteousness, and chastity were witnessed that the world was left astonished. Today, despite thousands of evils and despite the means of obscenity being present in every home, the ratio of chastity among those associated with Islam is, Praise be to Allah, much higher than others. However, since the poison of immodesty is increasing to a dangerous level in the atmosphere, there is no room for complacency; rather, there is a need to remain vigilant, cautious, and alert.
