Assalamoalikum,
Is a woman allowed to point her finger towards a ghair mehram (steward who is approaching towards them, meaning he can notice the act also) just to calm her small kid down or sooth him who is crying. Please note that her husband is also sitting besides her and they are travelling in an aircraft.
Or you can put it this way, if the woman claims that her intention was not bad and it just happened that she pointed her finger towards the steward just to clam her kid down, does her act become permissible under Islam. If not, how big is this sin and how can she be free of it !! Please suggest,jzk
1. Even if the intention is good, wouldn't it violate the essence of pardah which in the light of islam requires a female not only to safeguard her gaze but her voice shouldn't be heard to a ghair mehram !
2. Would such acts / gestures if done unintentionally remain unobjectionable ! Then a father and his grown up daughter should be allowed to sleep in a room cuz no one can think of anyone having a bad intention in such a case. But we see that even in such a pure relation islam forbids them to sleep in one room together.
3. What if the intention was bad but just to save her skin she claimed that it was unintentional !
This cannot be undone and I am sure it will be greatly appreciated.
