📌 The Marriage Proposal (Khitbah): What the Sunnah Permits You to See of a Woman In this video, Shaykh Sulaymān ar-Ruḥaylī explains a forgotten Sunnah related to choosing a spouse — the Sharʿī look before the marriage proposal. Many brothers and sisters today either neglect this Sunnah entirely or go beyond its limits. The guidance of the Prophet ﷺ is balanced, wise, and preserves the dignity of both spouses. 🔹 What can a man look at before proposing? 🔹 What did the Prophet ﷺ instruct al-Mughīrah ibn Shuʿbah to do? 🔹 Why did he tell a man: “Go and look at her, for indeed in the eyes of the Ansār there is something.” (Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim) 🔹 Where did the scholars differ, and what is the strongest opinion? Shaykh Sulaymān ar-Ruḥaylī examines the statements of the scholars, the hadith proofs, and the wisdom behind this practice — so that marriages can begin with clarity, harmony, and peace, free of whispers and regret.
