How can a betrothed woman convince her fiancé of the prophetic saying, "The best of you are those who learn the Qur'an and teach it," despite his objection using the prophetic saying, "When a woman goes out, Satanogleizes her," and does the latter saying apply to every instance of a woman leaving her home?
The : "Indeed, the woman is 'awrah. If she leaves (her house), Satan beautifies her (in the eyes of men), and the closest she is to the Face of her Lord is when she is in the deepest part of her house." Narrated by At-Tirmidhi, Ibn Hibban, and Ibn Khuzaymah. The meaning of "Satan beautifies her": He makes her appear beautiful in the eyes of men, or he looks at her to tempt her and to tempt others through her, or that Satan (whether human or jinn) stares intently at her to cause her or others to fall into temptation when she leaves her house. This pursuit includes every woman and may succeed with those who are not pious. It is advisable for a suitor to permit his fiancée to go out to memorize the Quran if she is safe from temptation.
