Bringing All the Daughters for the Lawful Glimpse of the Prospective Husband
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: What is the ruling for a man who has two or three daughters? He says: A prospective husband came and requested the lawful glimpse, so he brought all the daughters for this glimpse. Is this something to be avoided in the Shari'ah?
Answer:
Yes, he does not bring them all. He says, "Which one do you want? Which one do you want?" and he brings her to him. As for bringing them all and saying, "Choose," that is not a sound approach. If he chooses one of them while they are present, something happens in their hearts. Yes.
