Is everything permissible between spouses—touching, private conversation, and seeing each other in house clothes—after the marriage contract but before consummation?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the Shari'ah marriage contract has been concluded, the woman becomes a wife, and what is permissible for a husband with his wife becomes permissible with her, such as conversing, touching, and her removing her in front of her husband. It is advisable to observe the custom of delaying the consummation to avoid embarrassing the family, and to expedite the consummation if possible, along with repenting from previous wrongdoings.
