Is it permissible for a man to be associated with a veiled woman who wears makeup outside her home, and is it possible to speak with her in a place of study without proposing to marry her?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The legal hijab 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 Istikhara and teaching her the impermissibility of her action. If she repents or you are able to compel her to adhere to the Sharia, 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.
