Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for a Muslim to ask about the manner in which the angel, who appeared as a human to Mary, breathed into her, or is this among the matters of the unseen in which intellects are not to be inserted?

Answer:

her chastity, so We blew into her [garment] through Our angelفَرْجَهَا فَنَفَخْنَا فِيهَا مِن رُّوحِنَا
[Al-Anbya 21:91]
