Commentary
Any gaze that is cast at someone out of lust and carnal desire is an act of fornication. When a woman goes out of her house while adorned and beautified, it is as if she provokes others to look at herself and she incites their lust and carnal desire, so she invites adultery and only an adulteress would do so.
