Looking at Naked Women on Television

Question
If a person watches movies and series on television, especially women in revealing clothing, is he sinful for that? And will Allah forgive him?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: It is forbidden to look at the private parts, even if they are on television, except in cases of necessity, hardship, or when it is impossible to avoid it. Whoever repents sincerely and abandons the sin, the doors of God's mercy are never closed. And God knows best.
