The ruling on obeying a suitor by dropping the hijab in front of his brothers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A young woman asks, saying that a young man has proposed to her, and he has two brothers who are disabled and semi-insane. They do not pray or fast, and they are confined to the house. She says this young man who proposed asked her not to cover herself in front of them, knowing that their gaze toward women is a gaze of lust. Her question is: What do you advise her? And should she proceed with this proposal?
Answer:
No. The one who orders her not to cover herself from men, even if they are not of sound mind, is committing a sin, and she must not obey him in that. There is no obedience to a creation in the disobedience of the Creator. This is an invalid condition. The one who is not of sound mind has lust, and also, he does not have reason to restrain him from what is forbidden. Perhaps a crime will occur from him, or a crime or harm to the woman will happen. So do not accept this. Yes.
