Blessing for Seeing a Beautiful Woman

AA

Question

Isn't it forbidden to look at another woman? So why should one bless if he sees a beautiful woman?

Answer

The blessing was established for seeing beautiful people, animals, and trees particularly. A man blesses upon seeing a man, and a woman blesses upon seeing both. In cases where a man sees a woman without deliberately looking, such as by chance, he would also bless in earlier times, but only for beauty that he had not previously seen in such a manner, and not twice for the same person. However, this blessing is no longer practiced today, and it is forbidden to bless it in our times.
