The fourth question of Fatwa No. ( 14496 )
Q4: What is the ruling on a woman who smiles in front of a non-mahram man, but without showing her teeth, and without making a sound?
A4: It is forbidden for a woman to uncover her face or to smile at a non-mahram man; because of the evil that leads to. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
