The answer

A woman who dances in front of a man who is a stranger to her commits a reprehensible act and is considered disobedient. If she repents sincerely, then repentance erases what came before it, as Allah Almighty said: "But indeed, I am the All-Forgiving to whoever repents, believes, and does righteousness, and then is guided" (Taha: 82). She must be careful not to be lenient with strangers, as it is an entryway for Satan. The husband should be keen on raising his wife and children upon faith and obedience to the Most Merciful, and he should be a role model for them, and frequently supplicate for their well-being.
