Ruling on a woman revealing her adornment on her wedding night to the husband's relatives
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
She says: We have a custom where the bride's family, such as her father, brothers, or her father's or mother's brother, accompany the groom on the wedding night to take the bride from her family's home. They enter her room while she is in her full adornment. What is required of her in this regard, knowing that this is considered an honorable thing for the families of the bride and groom?
Answer:
If the husband is accompanied only by his father, his son, or his grandfather, there is no harm; because they are mahram (relatives one may not marry) to the wife, so there is no harm in their seeing her. However, if he is accompanied by others, such as brothers or friends, it is obligatory for you to be covered. It is obligatory for the wife to be covered until these people leave and only the husband remains. She should not reveal her adornment and beauty, whether her face or her hair, to them, but should remain covered and veiled. When the non-mahram leave, praise be to Allah, she may reveal herself to her husband's father, or his grandfather, or his son, as these are mahram. It is not permissible to accept this custom and reveal one's adornment and beauty to those who are with the husband on the wedding night. Allah the Exalted says: [Surat al-Nur: 31].
The husband's brother is not a mahram, nor is his uncle, nor his neighbors, nor the husbands of his sisters; they are not mahram. A custom that contradicts the Shari'ah (Islamic sacred law) is not permissible to accept or submit to. Therefore, a married woman at the time of the wedding, if the husband is accompanied by non-mahram, must not reveal herself to them until they leave.
