The answer

The legal covers the entire body, including the face and hands, according to the preponderant opinion. A woman going out adorned is forbidden by consensus. If the woman's foundation is the love of Allah and obedience to His law, then it is permissible to propose to her after performing and teaching her the impermissibility of her action. If she repents or you are able to compel her to adhere to the , then marriage is permissible. However, her persistence in disobedience indicates evil. Speaking with her without necessity is impermissible and opens a door to temptation, but it is permissible out of need, with assurance against temptation and adherence to Sharia guidelines, such as avoiding seclusion and lowering the gaze.
