The limit of looking at a prospective bride
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The limit of the place one looks at, I say the limit of the place one looks at is the face and the hands, and Allah
Answer:
whatever of her is usually visible. Some of it, like the hands, is not required to be seen, but if he sees her head or her foot, which is not usually visible, that is sufficient. And if he is content with the face and the hands, those are the lesser parts; they are the most important.
