السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته حياك الله استاذنا What is the rulings on going outdoors for a walk or to run if there is a risk I may see women? What about going to the beach to swim? I live in USA

I don't want you to fall into a waswasa OCD. Going outside is exactly like taking a walk: if you want to do something, you have to go outside in order to do it. That is totally different than going to the beach, where you know there will be people who are barely dressed or wearing very little.Ħin this case, you are deliberately going to the places of fitnah.
