THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Jumuat, 6th day of Rabi-ul Aakhir. (Friday, 12th of November 2021). HOW DO YOU CHOOSE YOUR FUTURE SPOUSE?. BismilLah.
Let's continue from the reminder yesterday;
2. It's important to see your potential partner before deciding to marry her or him.
Looking at the face of potential mate is recommended according to the Hadith in which the Prophet said: “When one of you asked a woman in marriage, if he is able to look at what will induce him to marry her, he should do so. ...” (Abu Dawud).
This means the two potential spouses can look at each other in the presence of another adult. There is no limit on the number of times the two people can meet each other in front of an adult relative of the sister in particular. However, both should fear ALLAH and remember the purpose of this is to satisfy the need for physical attraction to the person you are marrying. Please note that it is NOT permissible for a man to see a potential wife without Hijab or without properly covered, since he is not her Mahram (a relative with whom marriage is not possible, or her husband). Seeing her face and hands in the presence of an adult relative are enough to determine attraction. To be continued In shaa ALLAH. May ALLAH bless our marriages and aid those planning to marry. Aameen.
