Is it haram to see a woman in a bikini?
Yes, it is haram to see a woman in a bikini. Because in the eyes of men, the whole body of a woman is aura. The eye, in particular, is an organ through which trouble begins. It starts with a wink, but ends with a bang. From this small piece of embers begins the great danger of an all-consuming great fire.

“Ankhi is not an ankhi, but a curved knife.”
Who knows whose mind he steals!”

That is why Allah says:
﴿ قُل لِّلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ يَغُضُّواْ مِنۡ أَبۡصَٰرِهِمۡ وَيَحۡفَظُواْ فُرُوجَهُمۡۚ ذَٰلِكَ أَزۡكَىٰ لَهُمۡۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ خَبِيرُۢ بِمَا يَصۡنَعُونَ ٣٠ وَقُل لِّلۡمُؤۡمِنَٰتِ يَغۡضُضۡنَ مِنۡ أَبۡصَٰرِهِنَّ وَيَحۡفَظۡنَ فُرُوجَهُنَّ ٣١ ﴾ [النور : ٣٠، ٣١]
“Say to the believing men that they should restrain their gaze (downcast) and guard their private parts; This is better for them. Allah is Aware of what they do. And tell the believing women that they too should restrain their gaze and guard their modesty.”
The beloved Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said:
لَا تُتْبِعِ النَّظَرَ النَّظَرَ, فَإِنَّ الْأُولَى لَكَ وَلَيْسَتْ لَكَ الْاخِرَةُ
“Do not look (at a woman) repeatedly. Rather turn your gaze quickly, because, for you, forgiveness is the first time, not the second time”.
Since “the eye also commits adultery and its adultery is sight.”
