Question:icdbd-QA/0014
To what extent a man can look at a woman with the purpose of marriage? Please mention the parts of the body that can be made visible (for example, Hands, forearms, neck, Hair etc).
Answer:[by Dr. Manzur-e-Elahi]
Praise be to Allaah.
Only face and hands up to wrist.
And Allah knows the best!
[Note from ICD: Please note that, scholars differ widely on this – some even permit showing the hair, if that is necessary for creating the willingness in the man concerned to marry a woman.]
