A man deliberately abandons an important task entrusted to him to gain a woman’s attention. She did not ask him to do so. Which conclusion is justified?

Temptation, gratitude, moderation, and friendly conduct (Hadith 18–22)

• Examine the man’s wrong action; her intention is not established
• Since he abandoned the task, she must have wanted that
• Since she did not ask, his action is also justified
