Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. We are receiving this call from our brother Khalid from Shuqra. Yes. Peace be upon you, young men. Peace. And upon you be peace, the mercy of Allah, and His blessings. Yes, please proceed with the question. Shaykh, may Allah keep you safe, is it permissible for a prospective husband to look at his wife with the permissible gaze? Well, another question is being asked about the permissible gaze, may Allah bless you, for the prospective husband.

Answer:
The permissible gaze for the prospective husband is that he looks at her in the presence of her mahram (a relative one may not marry) and does not remain alone with her. He also looks at what he desires in her, such as her face, her hair, and her hands, and this is done in the presence of her father or her mahram. Yes.
