What is the ruling on a mother displaying her daughter's clothes (both general and private), for her upcoming marriage, in front of women, and what is the ruling if the husband objects to that?
The summary of the answer:
The questioner's inquiry—according to our understanding—is about the ruling on a wife displaying her clothes stained with hymenal blood to prove her virginity. This is an ugly custom and forbidden in Islamic law. It is not permissible to engage in it due to the consequences of disclosing marital secrets, which is prohibited by the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, who said: "Indeed, among the worst people in station before Allah on the Day of Resurrection is a man who goes to his wife and she to him, and then he spreads her secret." It also involves suspicion and accusing chaste women. If the intention is other than this, please clarify.
