Can a woman take a picture of herself to show to a prospective bridegroom who lives overseas?
RBRK
who lives overseas?
I do not take pictures of myself, since I know it is not lawful, except
for government reasons, like passports. I wear full hijab including niqab
and my family and I are strongly involved in the Tablighi Jamaat. There
is a prospective bridegroom who wants to see how I look like. His
family,who lives in U.S. would like me to show my picture to him. I have
done istikhara and my parents and I have decided to proceed on with the
marriage. This man tried to come to U.S.A but he was denied a visa. He
wants to see my picture. Can I send it through his mother so that he may
have one look at my picture? I will not allow them to let him keep my
picture. I only want to do what is strictly Islamicly correct. Please
respond in both Fathwa and Taqwa wise. Jazakallah Khair.
